Real HUBs
This page tells you which devices are hubs and which aren't.
Only devices, that are real HUBs, are convenient for recording voip calls. Switches are not suitable for call recording. An exception from this rule is more expensive Switch with Port Mirroring (see What is Port Mirroring? and A list of Switches with Port Mirroring).
Many vendors mark their products as "HUBs", but in fact such devices are "Switches".
Because of this confusion, you need to check your HUB model with the below list to see, if it is a real HUB or not.
In general, if you find something with "full-duplex" or "switch" in the device description, this is for sure a switch and not a hub. This is often the case with 100Mbit Ethernet devices.If you have a 10MBit HUB, and it's stated to be a HUB, then it should be a HUB.
Feel free to contact us if you are not sure that your HUB is real.
