Shared Hub

The most common component of the network. This allows us to expand to more and more users adding more available ports. Hubs can be 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 ports. Unfortunately, the more hubs connected, the more your network slows down and possibly crashes.

The solution is to change out your hubs with switches. For more information on increasing the performance of your school network, visit http://www.cccoe.k12.ca.us/speed.
