Can i use the following setup Cable Modem -> Swtich --> Router #1 and Router #2 ? I have two routers at each end of the house and trying to connect it to the cable modem that only has one ethernet port. Any advice is most welcome. thanks!!

No, in the consumer space (also unlikely in the enterprise/business space for cable internet). Pretty much all residential internet service provides 1 public IP address in which you need a router right after the modem to provide & translate into multiple local IP addresses for your multiple devices to access the internet.
I would have one router by the modem, and just use switches for every other splits. This would most likely suite what you need unless you are very technical doing advanced netwokring and deal with multiple LAN segregation.
.------- Switch
Modem ---- Router <
'------- Switch ----- (can add more switches if needed)
ADDED COMMENT (after a little more context on what you're trying to do): If you are using routers just because you need wifi, I would look into "Wireless Access Points" instead which is basically serving only the wireless part of a router. You can use access points to provide wifi coverage for other rooms (more ideal than having multiple routers) but you still need a router right after the modem.Switches are used only to provide more cable runs from the router.You can replace "Switch" with "Access Point" in my example.
I'm a layperson, what does this do exactly? Just seems like it makes one ethernet connection into many. Like a strip for outlets except for internet cables. Is that right? Will splitting them cause slowdowns?
Short answer is yes but should not cause a slow down.
Any recommendations on ones with POE? Been looking for one lately.
All the usual suspects are decent options, just expect to pay around $50 minimum for 4 port POE switch on sale, and then the price just goes up from there depending on number of ports/features.
Same price at Amazon but Amazon so has 15% back on prime visa card.
Wow, nice! How did you get a 15% return; can you explain a little more? I only get 5% back on my Amazon card and wouldn't mind saving a bit more given how much I purchase there.

How do you get 15%???
Right there on the product page on Amazon for me. Says "15% back when purchased with a prime credit card."
