SUMMARY

Hubs do not support full duplex communication due to their design, which relies on a single channel for both sending and receiving data. The discussion highlights that while separate send and receive cables could theoretically allow for full duplex, hubs operate in half duplex mode because they cannot manage simultaneous transmissions. The user suggests that if hubs had distinct channels for sending and receiving, full duplex would be achievable. This conclusion aligns with the fundamental operation of network hubs as outlined in the provided resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of network topologies and devices
  • Knowledge of half duplex vs. full duplex communication
  • Familiarity with cabling types used in networking
  • Basic concepts of signal transmission in networks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between hubs and switches in networking
  • Learn about full duplex communication protocols
  • Explore the implications of half duplex communication on network performance
  • Investigate modern networking equipment that supports full duplex
USEFUL FOR

Network engineers, IT professionals, and students studying computer networking who seek to understand the limitations of hubs and the principles of data transmission.

I believe full duplex is possible due to separate send and receive cables, and not whether the repeater broadcasts any income signal,
So, can we discuss this, I want to agree to my self that if you connect a send and receive cable to the hub, then the hub takes care of the send alone, and hence half duplex,
I believe, if it would have separate channels for sending and recieving, i,e sending cabling are on separate domain with receiving, full duplex would be possible
what do you say guyz, because allnthe above is my suggestion...

This was the way out to understand, why are hubs half-duplex... Incase it is not clear to you guyz...
