Network Hub & Switch Installation

A network hub is a computer networking device that connects network segments. The network switch, packet switch (usually just referred to as a switch) plays an integral part in most Ethernet local area networks (LANs). Mid-to-large sized LANs contain a number of linked managed switches. Small or home office applications typically use a single switch, or an all-purpose converged device such as a gateway access home broadband services such as DSL router or cable Wi-Fi router. In these scenarios, typically the end-user device contains a router and components that interface to the particular physical broadband technology, as in Linksys 8-port and 48-port devices. These kinds of user devices might also include a telephone interface for VoIP.
