Detailed explanation-1: -Bus topologies typically use coaxial cable. Thinner coaxial cable is used in ThinNet (10Base2) networks, and thicker coaxial cable is used in ThickNet (10Base5) networks. One big difference with the bus topology compared with other topologies is that it requires a physical terminator at each end of the bus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bus topologies use coaxial cable. Bus topology sections are connected with BNC connectors. T connectors are often used to connect the computer to the trunk cable. The T connector can connect the computer to two sections of cable with the bus extending in both directions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bus topology, also known as line topology, is a type of network topology in which all devices in the network are connected by one central RJ-45 network cable or coaxial cable.
Detailed explanation-4: -Star topology is a network topology in which each network component is physically connected to a central node such as a router, hub or switch. Advertisements. In a star topology, the central hub acts like a server and the connecting nodes act like clients.
Detailed explanation-5: -10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors to build a local area network.
