1. CAT6 ethernet is always wired in what is called a star topology . 2. 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T installations running on twisted pair cable use a star topology . 3. A twisted pair Ethernet is a logical bus topology in a physical star topology layout. 4. Star topology systems can be converted to multipoint systems by installing new conductors between old existing ones.5. While IBM's token ring is a logical ring topology, it is physically set up in star topology . 6. The hub on the other hand, while maintaining a logical ring, allows a star topology on the cable level. 7. The star topology reduces the impact of a line failure by connecting all of the systems to a central node. 8. For example, the original twisted pair Ethernet using repeater hubs was a logical bus topology carried on a physical star topology . 9. In the last few years, star topologies have become more popular because their price has gone down and they are more flexible. 10. So, if you were using Xmodem or Zmodem, you weren't using the internet, just using " a " network that connects users in a star topology .
