NetWorth, Inc. was an American computer networking hardware company active from 1985 to 1995 and based in Irving, Texas. The company manufactured equipment, mainly hubs, for Ethernet-based local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) for most of its existence, becoming one of the top players in its field along with companies such as 3Com, SynOptics, and Cabletron. In 1995, Compaq acquired the company for $372 million, absorbing it within their networking products division shortly thereafter.
