Devices on a linear bus network are connected to each other via a wire, usually through a T-connector device. In effect, the devices are "daisy chained" together without any other device connecting them.

What network uses a central cable to which all network devices connect?
bus network
What is the differences between star topology and bus topology?
A star topology has a central hub with other devices each connected to the hub but not to each other - for one device to communicate to another, they have to use the hub. With a bus topology all the devices are connected to the same bus - there is no hub. Each topology has advantages and disadvantages; the speed of a star network is limited by the hub; a telephone exchange is an example of a star network and there is a built-in limit to the number of devices that can be connected and there's no way to increase it other than to replace the hub with a bigger one. However, the devices (telephones in our example) can be dumb - all the intelligence is in the hub; it manages the calls and importantly, for commercial exchanges, calculates the bills. For bus networks, devices have to be smarter but can do much more as they can grab the whole bus.
What are the types of bus topology?
There are two basic categories of network topologies Physical topologies Logical topologies The shape of the cabling layout used to link devices is called the physical topology of the network. Logical topology is the way the signals act in the network In BUS topology you have "THE LINEAR BUS" and "THE DISTRIBUTED BUS" IN the LINEAR bus all the nodes of the network are connected to a common transmission medium which has 2 end points where as in the DISTRIBUTED, all the nodes are connected to a common transmission medium which has more than 2 end points.
What's the definition of concept network topologies?
See related link for Network TopologiesTopology refers to the shape of a network , or the network's layout. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate are determined by the network's topology. Topologies are either physical or logical. Below are diagrams of the five most common network topologies.Mesh TopologyDevices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes. In a true mesh topology every node has a connection to every other node in the network.Star TopologyAll devices are connected to a central hub. Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub.Bus TopologyAll devices are connected to a central cable, called the bus or backbone.Ring TopologyAll devices are connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop, so that each device is connected directly to two other devices, one on either side of it.Tree TopologyA hybrid topology. Groups of star-configured networks are connected to a linear bus backbone.AlternativeDEF: A network (configuration) depiction made as an example by a techie.Omit the word concept together with the word techie for better understanding.
