Hubs are not collision domains but a networking device. Hubs have single collision domain that makes them very undesirable for modern networks.

How many collision and broadcast domain are there if a router is directly connected to hub?
A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
Is the characteristics of hub is multiple collision domain?
A hub has a single collision domain, which is why it can cause problems when network traffic is high.
How does using a hub or a repeater affect the size of the collision domain?
A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain
When do workstations share a collision domain?
two computers connected to the same hub AND two computers connected to the same access server
How do routers and switches separate collision domains?
in my opinion there is no any collision domain in the router......but switch has collision domains for each interfaces & hub has one collision domain
Can I connect a Cisco catalyst 2950 switch to a hub?
Yes. A hub will be one giant collision domain for that entire switch port. So if its an 8 port hub and you have 8 devices connected to it that collision domain will have 8 devices in it.
When segmenting a LAN what device cannot be used to reduce the collision domain?
Hubs do not reduce collision domains. All devices connected to the hub are in a single collision domain, where as on a switch, each port is its own collision domain.
What is a single collison domain?
A collision domain is an area on the network where two devices may attempt to transmit at the same time. A hub has 1 collision domain overall. A switch has 1 collision domain per interface. The fewer devices in 1 collision domain, the better. ----
How many collision domains exist in a network with 15 hosts interconnected by means of a hub?
For any amount of clients connected to a hub you will get a total of 1 collision domain. A hub is a device that simply repeats all of the signals from the ports and does not separate clients into separate collision domains.
Which device extends a collision domain?
Bridge, Switches, Router.
Why are switches more important than hubs as they both transmit data through ports?
Switch work's full-duplex mode, but HUB work's on Half-duplex mode. each port of switch is a different collision-domain, but HUB is single collision-domain.
What causes a larger collision domain?
a collision domain is a group of devices where traffic from any one of them could collide with traffic from any other member of the same group. some devices help to shrink collision domains, like switches, while other devices can extend the size of a collision domain (like a hub).
