"switch hub" or "switched hub" usually means "a switch". For some reason product marketing often calls them "switch hubs" because they assume that people will know what a "hub" does but might not know what a "switch" does. It's really dumb, basically it's just marketing mumbo jumbo that only serves to further confuse people.
