concentrator[′kän·sən‚trād·ər] (electronics) Buffer switch (analog or digital) which reduces the number of trunks required. (engineering) An apparatus used to concentrate materials. A plant where materials are concentrated. concentrator (communications)A device that combines the data streams frommany simultaneously active inputs into one shared channel insuch a way that the streams can be separated aftertransmission. The concentrator's output bandwidth must be atleast as great as the total bandwidth of all simultaneouslyactive inputs. A concentrator is one kind of multiplexingdevice.
For example, a concentrator may be used to connect 24 2400 bpsTTYs to a host via a 57600 bps channel.concentratorA device that combines several communications channels into one. It is often used to tie multiple terminals together into one line. It differs from a multiplexor, which also combines several lines into one, because the total bandwidth of a concentrator's inputs is not equal to its outputs. A concentrator may temporarily store data to allow for this discrepancy, whereas a multiplexor does not.
An Ethernet hub, which is a multiport repeater, is sometimes called a "concentrator."concentratorenUK
