Do I understand you correctly?    -  you are proposing to wire all the sockets
in 'series'   - ie daisy-chained on one long cable ??

Never tried it - but other replies suggest that it will physically work!

However, 8-port switches are dirt cheap, and as I understand it have the
advantage of avoiding 'collisions' which could considerably slow down your
LAN.

Or have I got completely the wrong end of the stick here??
