Bus topology refers to a single cable that connects all the workstations, servers, printers and other devices on the network. The cable runs from device to device by using T-connectors that plug into the network adapter cards.
Each end device has a TERMINATOR on one end of the T and a cable going out to the next device on the other end, while all devices in the middle have one cable coming in and one going out.
The terminators on each end device simply stop the network signal from reflecting back into the cable and colliding with other transmissions.
