A Hub is a device that splits a network connection
into multiple computers. It is like a distribution center. When a computer
request information from a network or a specific computer, it sends the request
to the hub through a cable. The hub will receive the request and transmit it to
the entire network. Each computer in the network should then figure out whether
the broadcast data is for them or not. For example, an Ethernet
hub normally has 8 or 12 or 16 RJ-45 ports, each port can be connected to a PC
or workstation or server. Also, the hub’s BNC port can be connected to a
coaxial cable to lengthen the network.
