Bridge
A software/hardware that have job as a media to connect separate networks together so they can communicate each other called as a bridge. For example, there a two networks.

Most of the new computer today have NIC in their motherboard. The NIC provide a standard interface called a RJ45 connector to connect a RJ45 cable to a computer.
Hub
Similar to switch, hub is a device to connect a multiple computers together in the same network. Hub provide a several ports to connect the cable from each computer on Local Area Network (LAN).

For example, if the user A want to send a data to the user B, the user B only can receive the data and stop the connection from other user until the data finish sending. So, sometimes people can see the usage of hub only for a small computer network. Coaxial
