In a physical bus topology, why do the ends of the cable have to be terminated?
What will be an ideal response?
When data is sent onto the network in a physical bus topology, it continues to travel the length of the network until it loses strength or until it is absorbed by a device. Once the signal reaches the end of the cable, it will bounce back and interfere with the other signals that follow it. To eliminate this signal distortion, the ends are terminated with a material that absorbs the signal so that it cannot bounce back.
