A computer network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources such as printers and CD-ROMs, exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a computer network may be linked through cables, telephone
Disadvantages of the Mesh Topology This network configuration can create redundant network connections, as there are some connections which are useless. The overall cost of the topology is also increased because of an excessive amount of cabling and need of i/o ports. ...
This tutorial lesson explains mesh, ring and hybrid network topologies and the Advantages and Disadvantages of mesh, ring and hybrid topologies
• Fiber optic cables are much thinner and lighter than copper cables, so less weight. • Fiber optic cables are made out of glass, so mass production is cheaper than copper cables. Copper is a costly metal. Disadvantages of fiber optic cable ...
