A ring topology needs more cables to connect the nodes within a network than a star topology.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a ring topology, each node is connected to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring. In contrast, a star topology connects all nodes independently to a central hub, requiring more cables if the number of nodes is greater than three, as each node needs its own cable to connect to the hub.

A Ring Topology Needs More Cables to Connect the Nodes
