CHAPTER 3

5. A topology defines a central device communicates with two or more other devices
9. When several hubs or switches must be connected, usually one device is used as the central connecting point,forming an extended star topology
13. A type of cable made of twisted copper wires that doesn't have metallic shielding
16. The actual rate at which data is successfully transferred from one point to another on a network within a given time period
18. Which device is an electrical component called a resistor that absorbs the signal instead of allowing it to bounce back up the wire
20. The path data travels between computers on a network is considered the network’s logical topology

1. Signal travel across the medium and from device to device is called signal propagation
2. The arrangement of cabling and how cables connect one device to another in a network is considered the network’s which topology
3. A topology defines always an electrical connection between the computer and the switch
4. Which physical topology is defined a network design where devices are connected in a circle, forming a closed loop
6. It uses a single transmission band,
7. A type of electrical cable that transmits signals using a central conductor, insulating layers, and a metal shield
8. describes the lay of the land
10. A cable that uses glass fibers to transmit data as pulses of light
11. Which physical topology is defined as a continuous length of cable connecting one computer to another in daisy-chain fashion
12. A topology defines a network design where devices are connected directly to each other, rather than through a central hub
14. A topology describes how a network is physically laid out and how signals travel from one device to another
15. It uses multiple frequency bands
17. A measurement of how much useful data is transmitted over a network in a given amount of time
19. A topology describe a network arrangement where all devices (like computers or servers) are directly connected to a single central hub or switch
