"Linear Topology"

Computer Networks with Topology coherent ("Linear Topology") commonly referred to "Linear bus topology", this layout includes general layout. One main cable connecting each connection point (computer) that is connected to the connector called Connectors-T and the ends must be terminated with a terminator (terminator). BNC type connector used (British Naval Connector: Connector Maritime Britain), actually is a BNC connector name is not the name of the cord, the cable used is RG 58 (Sepaksi Thinnet Cables). Installation of beruntut bus topology is very simple and cheap but many can only consist of 5-7 computers.

     • Connectors BNC cable is used to connect the cable to the T connector.
     • T BNC Connectors are used to connect the cable to the computer.
     • tube BNC Connectors (BNC barrel connector) is used to connect 2
       BNC cable.
     • BNC terminator is used to marks the end of a bus topology.

Pros:

     • efficient cable
     • Simple wiring layout
     • easily developed
     • do not need a central control
     • the addition or reduction of terminator can be done without
       interfere with ongoing operations


Disadvantages:

     • fault detection and isolation is very small
     • high traffic density
     • Data security is not guaranteed
     • speed will decrease when the number of users increases
     • required repeater (repeater) for long distance.
