Some hubs have a coax connector on the back that allows hub traffic to talk to coax. My small network at home is constructed from some RJ45 hub connectors (which go into a hub), and a COAX line.
Quick geek test for you all, when you read the word coax did you interpret it as 'co-axe' or 'cokes'? (as in coaxing an animal etc.)
Most geeks read it as 'co-axe', normal people 'cokes'!
probably most people who know read it as co-axe is because they know it stands for co-axial ;).. I used to be a TV engineer and they called coax, and I would not describe anybody I used to work with as a geek ;)
