Detailed explanation-1: -A linear bus topology consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end (See fig. 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Most communication systems such as computer buses and networks require a terminator at the end of the data path. The types of terminators used in bus topology ensure that the signal sent from the sender’s address is properly validated and terminated to allow more data transmissions along the main cable in the network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disadvantages of a Bus Topology: Terminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
