What is the main difference between a hub and a switch?
Switch vs Hub A Hub supports half-duplex i.e., only one device can send or receive data at a time while a switch supports full-duplex i.e., both devices can send and receive data at the same time. A switch is located on the second layer of the OSI model while a Hub is located on the first layer.
Can I use any USB-C to charge my switch?

Do USB hubs cause input lag?
The USB hub is recognized by the host as a distinct USB device. So inserting a USB hub (which does act as a repeater) will add latency, not reduce it. A repeater uses a receive, store, and forward method, so there is no way it (or any device) can reduce latency.
Can you connect a hub to another hub or a switch to another switch to another switch using a straight through cable?
You can connect two switches/hubs by using the normal port in both switches/hubs. Straight-through cables are mainly used for connecting, unlike devices. While crossover cables are mostly used for connecting like devices.
What are the advantages of a switch over a hub?
A switch is more intelligent than a hub. As a hub, a switch is the connection point for the computers (and other devices) in a network. However, a switch is more efficient at passing along traffic. It records the addresses of the computers connected to it in a table.
