As your business grows, so too do your networking needs. If you’ve experienced growth and are looking for hubs and switches to scale along your new network demands, Connection has what you need.
With new hubs and switches, you can efficiently manage your network and all subsequently connected devices. A networking cable connects devices to your hub or switches just like a wired router,... but you can use these gadgets to connect multiple segments of your network—which makes them ideal for use in larger offices and businesses.
Leading router manufacturers who produce devices for small businesses and at-home use also frequently offer network hubs and switches for enterprise-level use. Connection offers basic network hubs and switches for up to five computer connections. You will also find options that offer advanced technology if you require connections for 24 systems or more. Some hubs and switches even allow you to manage your network or segment from the web, which dramatically improves the ease of use of these devices.
Unsure of which option, a hub or switch, is best suited for you and your business? Here are a few things to note:
A switch may better meet your company’s needs because it can forward data on your network to the only device that requires the information. In contrast, a hub forwards data to all devices on the network. While a hub is technically less efficient, you will not notice the difference if you only have a handful of computers connected to your network. Larger networks that have a higher file-sharing frequency or data transfer activity, however, can benefit from the upgrade to a switch. Most devices use plug-and-play technology, allowing you to connect to the network instantaneously, simply by plugging in the networking cable.
