Bus networks are usually based in a single room and look like such: _ _ _ Computers :-----------------: actual cable line and terminators (cables would goto the PCs) _ _ _ more PCs The medium is a coax cable (looks like tv cable) and requires terminators on both ends of the cable for stopping the resonence of the signal. All pcs are directly hooked into the coax cable and any break in the cable will result in complete network failure. Average speed was 10Mbps The computers required special network cards capable of hooking up to the coax cable, often refered to as a BNC connector.
