Considerations for Deciding on a Topology Type

• Expense. A linear bus network may be the least expensive way to install a network; you do not have to purchase concentrators.

• Length of cable needed. The linear bus network uses shorter lengths of cable.

• Future growth. With a star topology, expanding a network is easily done by adding another concentrator.

• Cable type. The most common cable in schools is unshielded twisted pair, which is most often used with star topologies.
