Network hub

Guide to Controls (BG 83/2023) written by John Marrow and published by BSRIA in June 2023, defines a network hub as: ‘…a simple device with a number of RJ45 sockets that allows the connection of multiple networks in one place. It can be used to expand a network but it has no intelligence to route the data, hence network traffic is transmitted to every port. These can be viewed as similar to multi-socket extension leads.’
