You can check the site http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Interface/pethhub.htm
it shows how to build a passive hub. I also have a similar project (I have to implement a passive hub). But my question is: In situations where we have no collisions, what are the maximum transfer rate?. I mean can a passive hub handle Gbit speeds?

Thanks a lot

 

Please read post #4, and also the date of the thread.

It is confusing when you hijack an old thread - http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=40182&page=2

So now you have your own.
