The answer is a switch

Switches connect multiple PC’S, printers, servers, and other hardware together to form one common LAN network. They send and receive information in a smooth and transparent manner. Jesse can use a hub as well but the problem with using a hub is the amount of bandwidth users can share. Hubs take longer to transfer data to its destination than switches. In simpler terms, a switch centralizes communications among connected devices in a LAN.
