A hub generally has 4 to 12 ports. Software allows the switch to regulate traffic, eliminating spammy signals and making connected networks highly efficient. A switch costs more, but it not only supports personal computers but also support a variety of other IP devices. Intelligent features allow administrators to turn ports off and on, or filter, through specific ports and manage VLAN security. A network switch generally has 24 to 48 ports.
I ask because I want to passively connect a video-over-Category-cable input to 4 outputs without data management. The video goes from unbalanced, coaxial cable into a balun that sends the signal out on an RJ45 connector.
I want to split that signal no data to 4 ports instead of one. Would a hub work for this? Your email address will not be published.

A gigabit-compatible hub would be ideal -- do those even exist? Amazon to the rescue. Unfortunately it's a special product now people who want them really want them and can't use something else so the prices may be higher than you expect. Also you will NOT get a gigabit hub. You won't find PCI-E video cards to use on a motherboard, either If your application for a hub is "inserting a protocol analyzer into a network connection", the modern answer is a switch that features "port monitoring" or "port mirroring", in which one switch port is configured to emit all packets to and from another specified port.
Just asking for Ethernet Hub in Electronics will get you products most of them actually switches. You may reduce the results further by price etc. If hubs are hard to come by, another option might be to buy a Wi-Fi router that runs dd-wrt, which it should be possible to configure port mirroring on.

The standard does define a half duplex Mbps mode and does specify how hubs note: the standard uses the term repeater should behave at that speed.
I've never hard of anyone actually making one though. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.
