Serial Port Splitter comes in handy if you need to split some hardware serial port into several virtual COM ports, each of them acting exactly like the original port and even having the very same name. Thus, any data received by the original serial port immediately arrives at each virtual port. For example, this approach can be used for enabling some serial device to interact with many applications at the same time.
Another thing you can easily do with Serial Port Splitter, is to redirect all serial traffic from some hardware serial port to another serial port (whether hardware or virtual one), so that any data sent to the redirected port is instantly received by the redirection port. If you need to run some indispensable software with "hardwired" serial-port settings that cannot be changed so easily, Serial Port Splitter comes as a life saver.
Using Serial Port Splitter, you can also join several serial ports into one virtual port. For a software program which needs to handle a few serial devices simultaneously, the Splitter utility can easily arrange that any data sent to one of the joined ports is instantly received by the joining port, and vice versa.
Moreover, with Serial Port Splitter you can create complex bundles of real and virtual serial ports and interconnect them according to your needs, thus enabling them to exchange data

Serial Port Splitter allows to share dataflow of one COM port between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one application.
Pros: Serial Port Splitter lets several devices to share a single COM port at the same time. Basically the total available bandwidth gets divided into number of independent data streams. Several devices can send in data to the same port too. The application takes care of the multiplexing/ de-multiplexing necessary. It allows to share dataflow of one COM port between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one application. Such program universality is achieved by means of virtual serial ports technologies. Ports thus created can be set to be read/write or read only for split ports and similarly the ports that are combined (joined) can be set to be read/write or write only. One COM port can be split up to 254 virtual ports and can be opened by several applications at the same time and used simultaneously. Once created the set up is maintained even when rebooted maintaining plug & play , hot plug capability, hot program install without requiring reboot etc.
Cons: In this day and age where adding multiple ports of USB costs hardly anything and does provide high speed communications, this kind of application does not add much value; except when for whatever reason this additional hardware cannot be put in.
Overall: A simple application with absolutely simple interface performs stated functionality well. It is rated at 3 stars.
