- 1Bus TopologyLayout structure: A single fiber optic cable connect to a multiple of computers. The computers are laid out in a straight line.
Benefits:the connection is speedy and clear.
Drawbacks: If the cable damaged at any point either start,end or middle;the quality of the connection is poor. - 2Star TopologyLayout Structure: Computers are organised into a star shape structure with normally a switch or hub in the middle to send and receive data. Each computer is connected via fiber optic cable.
Benefits: if one of the cables connected to the computer breaks,the other terminals will not be affected. speed of topology is fast
Drawbacks: the cost to implement the network is expensive because of the amount of cable needed. - 3Ring TopologyLayout Structure: computers are laid out in a ring shaped structure similar to a bus however the computers are connected with a coaxial cables.
Benefits: cheap to install
Drawback: The quality of the signal can be affected by the noise generated by the coaxial cables.
