Cabling and Topology Flashcards
Which of the following topologies required termination?
Star
Bus
Mesh
Bus
In a bus topology, all computers connected to the network via a main line. The cable had to be terminated at both ends to prevent signal reflection
Star-bus is an example of a _______________ topology.
system
hybrid
