An expansion hub is a box of card slots on the cable network, like an external expansion chassis.

Use
Place a hub and join it to a computer with cable. Right-click to open its slots, and put cards in them. Every computer wired to the hub has the hub’s cards on its bus, unless a Bluetooth card in the hub’s radio slot pairs the whole hub with one computer.
A card works where it is installed. A redstone card in a hub emits and
detects redstone at the hub, not at the computer, and the hub gives off the redstone its cards
put out. Faces such as front and left are named from the hub’s front. See
Faces.
A hub passes the cable connection on, like a cable, and takes a cable on every side. It holds any card: network, WLAN, sound, internet, the sensors and the rest.
Crafting
A chip in the middle, a comparator above, below, left and right of it, copper ingots in the top corners and gold ingots in the bottom corners.
Notes
- Hubs let you use more slots than a case has. Mind the CPU’s bus size: each card is a device.
- Breaking a hub drops it with its cards.
