What kind of speed do you get with this device? I know theoretical, but i'm curious about practical.

Actual speed is going to be entirely dependant on your built network you are adding this into. The thing to know is that you will not see any slowdown on your network with this added device. It has definitely helped keep my network moving smoothly with no bottle necks. I however have gigabit line run through my house as well as a gigabit router to ensure the fastest speeds possible. This has only improved my speeds as yo take some of the switching workload off of my router.

Is this splitter compatible with cat 8 cables?

It is backwards compatible with cat 5-7. It is just designed with more turns and shieldings because it is capable of 400 times the speed throughput.....

What is the power consumption profile?

Per Netgear's website http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/switches/GS208.aspx#tab-techspecs the 8-port has a maximum power consumption of 3.64 watts.

Can this be used to plug into a rj45 jack in my bedroom? I have two computers that need an Ethernet connection. Fiber router/modem is not nearby.

Yes, as long as the RJ45 (Ethernet) wall jack is connected to your router somewhere in the house, you can connect the switch directly to the wall jack and have 7 Ethernet ports to connect local devices to (1 port is used by the wall connection).
