Network Hardware

1. Network Interface Card

2. Hub

   • A hub is a hardware device that allows nodes (computers) to be linked together and exchange data. Once data reaches the Hub it then distributes it to all devices on the network.

3. Switch

   • A switch is similar to a hub in that that allows computers to be linked together and exchange data, but unlike a hub, it does not broadcast every data packet to every device but checks the Mac address that the data is for and then checks all the devices for the same Mac address so that it sends it only to the right computer.

4. Router

5. Cables

6. WAP

7. Hub Vs Switch comparison
