Any device, such as a computer or printer, that is connected to a network.
The way in which the devices on a network are arranged and connected together.
A device at each end of a shared cable that absorbs signals so they do not reflect back.
Devices pass data to each other by radio so only one of them needs a wired internet connection.
Every device is connected directly to every other device, which needs the greatest amount of cabling.
Occurs when two devices send data at the same time on a shared cable, corrupting both signals.
Each device has its own cable to a central switch, so a cable failure affects only that device.
Devices connect to several other devices so data can be sent along alternative routes if one connection fails.
All devices connect to one shared cable, and if that cable is damaged the whole network fails.
A component that, if it stops working, causes the whole network to stop working.
