In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a single hub through a
cable. This hub is the central node and all others nodes are connected to the central
node.
1. A number of repeaters are used for Ring topology with large number of nodes,
because if someone wants to send some data to the last node in the ring
topology with 100 nodes, then the data will have to pass through 99 nodes to
reach the 100th node. Hence to prevent data loss repeaters are used in the
network.
2. In Dual Ring Topology, two ring networks are formed, and data flow is in
opposite direction in them. Also, if one ring fails, the second ring can act as a
backup, to keep the network up.
3. Data is transferred in a sequential manner that is bit by bit. Data transmitted,
has to pass through each node of the network, till the destination node.
Advantages of Ring Topology
1. It is cost effective.
2. Cable required is least compared to other network topology.
3. Used in small networks.
4. It is easy to understand.
5. Easy to expand joining two cables together.
1. Fully connected.
2. Robust.
3. Not flexible.
1. Complex in design.
2. Costly.
COXAIL CABLE
Coaxial cables a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular
The two types of coaxial cabling are thick coaxial and thin coaxial.
Coaxial cable is used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals. Its
applications include feed lines connecting radio transmitters and receivers
with their antennas, computer network (Internet) connections, digital audio
(S/PDIF), and distributing cable television signals.
They support multiple channels and have a high bandwidth and low error
rates.
They are susceptible to security risks, damage, congestion and noise, and
they are costly to install.
OFC CABLE
An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are
used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with
plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment
where.
UTP cables are often used in data networks for short and medium length
connections because of its relatively lower costs compared to optical fiber
and coaxial cable.
They are also smaller than STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables, which makes
them easier to install, particularly in bulk or in narrow spaces.
UTP cables are also cheaper than STP cables, and do not require as much
maintenance, since they do not rely on an outer shield, and can transmit data
as fast as STP cables.
UTP cables is their susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and radio
frequency interference. They also have a smaller bandwidth compared to
coaxial cables or fiber optic cables.(Dis-adv.)
Less able to carry the signal for long-distance networking.
STP CABLE
STP Cable in which each of the two copper wires that are twisted together are
coated with an insulating coating that functions as a ground for the wires. The extra
covering in shielded twisted pair wiring protects the transmission line from
Electromagnetic leaking into or out of the cable. STP cabling often is used in
Ethernet networks, especially fast data rate Ethernets.
Small local area network with a limited number of users, twisted pair
is an ideal choice because it is both inexpensive and easy to install.
Handled a data flow of up to approximately one megabit per second
(Mbps) over several hundred feet
STP wire physically larger and more expensive than UTP cables
Susceptibility to signal distortion errors and the relatively low
transmission rates they provide over long distances
