How to Direct Connect Hubs
In networking, hubs are used to connect several Ethernet networking devices and bind them as a network. These devices will share the Internet signal the hub receives, and bandwidth is shared between the devices. Just like any other network device, a hub can easily connect to another hub with the use of an Ethernet cable.
