State one advantage and one disadvantage of coaxial pair
Advantage- signal can travel longer distances at higher speeds
Disadvantage- Expensive in comparison to twisted pair cables
State one advantage and one disadvantage of fiber optics
Advantage- Immune to electromagnetic interference
Disadvantage- sophisticated technology required for manufacturing, installing and maintenance
What meant by network topology?
The arrangement of a network including its nodes and connecting lines
With the aid of a diagram, state one advantage and one disadvantage of the bus topology.
Advantage- Very reliable because of a single transmission line
Disadvantage- One faulty node can bring the whole network down
With the aid of a diagram, state one advantage and one disadvantage of the ring topology
Advantage- Ideal of optic fibres as data one travel in one direction
Disadvantage- Difficult to remove 1 or more nodes while keeping rest of network intact
With the aid of a diagram, state one advantage and one disadvantage of the star topology
Advantage- Failure of one node does not affect the network
Disadvantage- If central node fails whole network fails
With the aid of a diagram, state one advantage and one disadvantage of the hybrid topology
Advantage- This type of topology combines the benefits of different types of topologies in one topology.
Disadvantage- Very complex design
