In a standard Bus Topology, what is the purpose of placing a 'terminator' at both extreme ends of the main shared backbone cable?
A. To absorb electrical signals and prevent signal bounce or reflection back down the line.
B. To convert the network structure into a ring format.
C. To dynamically allocate IP configurations to incoming stations.
D. To boost the electrical signal amplification.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Terminators absorb signals when they reach the end of a bus line, preventing signal reflection which would otherwise corrupt ongoing data transmissions.
