There are three main local area network (LAN) topologies: Bus
Star
Ring
Other network topologies include: Mesh
Wireless

Chapter 2: NETWORK CABLING 3
BUS TOPOLOGY
The bus topology supports thick and thin coaxial segments.
Segments are connected by repeaters.
The bus topology uses the baseband signaling method.
Signals are broadcast in both directions simultaneously.
Both ends of each segment require termination to avoid reflection.
End systems connect to the segment in a linear manner.

Chapter 2: NETWORK CABLING 5
STAR TOPOLOGY
The star topology can use coaxial, twisted pair, or fiber optic cable.
A central device (hub) connects hubs and nodes to the network. Each node connects to its own dedicated port on
the hub.
Hubs broadcast transmitted signals to all connected devices.
You can connect multiple hubs to form a hierarchical star topology.
The star topology uses the baseband signaling method.

Chapter 2: NETWORK CABLING 8
RING TOPOLOGY
The ring topology can use twisted pair or fiber optic cabling.
A central device (hub) connects hubs and nodes to the network. Each node connects to its own dedicated port on the
hub.
You can connect multiple hubs to form a larger ring.
The ring topology uses the baseband signaling method.
Frames are transmitted around the ring from node to hub to node.
Media Access Control (MAC) is used for token passing.

THE PUNCH DOWN PROCESS
To punch down wiring:
1. Strip some of the insulating sheath off the cable end to expose the wires.
2. Separate the twisted-pair wires.
3. Strip a small amount of insulation off each wire.
4. Insert the wires into the contact points within the jack.
5. Press the bare wire down between the metal contacts.
6. Cut off excess wire.

SUMMARY
The three basic LAN topologies are bus, star, and ring. WLANs are becoming more popular. Mesh networks are not typically used in LANs.
The primary cable types used in LANs are coaxial, twisted pair, and fiber optic.
External installations are best suited for small networks using prefabricated cable.
Internal installations are best suited for large networks using bulk cable, wall plates, patch panels, and hubs.
Professional cabling tools, such as telepoles, fish tape, cable pullers, punch down tools, and crimpers make complex installation projects easier.
