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.
What is an uplink port?
An Uplink Port is a port on a connectivity device, such as a hub or switch, used to connect it to another connectivity device.
What is a hub refering to hardware devices?
A hub is used in network situations. It provides a central connection for multiple media segments. The hub repeats a signal received on one port and send them to ALL other ports. A hub operates in half duplex mode, meaning that devices can only send when no other devices are sending data. Use a switch when possible.

Which is more efficient for networking traffic a switch or a hub Why?
A switch. Each port has a separate path to each of the other ports on the switch. On a hub, all the ports are tied together into 1 single port. Think of a switch as an 4 lane freeway with 8 entrances and exits; a hub is a one lane highway with the same 8 entrances and exits. It can pass data from only one port to another port- switch can connect 4 ports to the other 4 ports (or 8 to 8 or 16 to 16, you get the idea) A switch is quite a bit more complicated AND is generally more expensive: between 20% and 300% more than a hub with the same number of ports BUT it's very useful on a busy network (business especially.)
