Calling on a linear bus topology can be extended using which of the following?
Correct answer: C. terminators
- A. barrel connector
- B. network adapter card
- C. terminators
- D. medium attachment unit
Explanation
Terminators are resistors placed at each end of the linear bus cable. They absorb the signal at the end of the cable, preventing signal reflection that can corrupt data transmission. This allows for a proper signal strength throughout the entire cable and enables extension of the linear bus topology.
