Yes, along with active hubs, switches and routers will also act as a
repeater by regenerating the signal, and it only sends data to its correct
destination. (This minimizes collisions.)
Some hubs will amplify the signal and send it out to ALL ports... not good

An active hub is a multiport repeater. You can usually tell an active hub
from a passive hub by whether or not it uses its own power supply.
