Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a bus network, signals are sent across a single cable segment, so if one end of the cable is left open, signals will bounce back and forth along the cable segment, causing signal interference and ultimately resulting in data loss. Therefore, cable segments must be terminated with resistors to absorb these bouncing signals and prevent signal bounce.
