In a star topology, each network device has a home run of cabling back to a network hub, giving each device a separate connection to the network.
If there is a problem with a cable, it will generally not affect the rest of the network.
The most common cable media in use for star topologies is unshielded twisted pair copper cabling.
Two variations of the star topology used by most larger Ethernet networks today are the star bus and star tree topologies.
Essentially, the star bus topology has multiple data closets interconnected by bus trunk lines of thin net, while the star tree topology links multiple data closets with twisted pair or fiber optic.
These types of network topologies allow a network to cover a much larger physical area.
