In a simple Ethernet bus
network the cable is terminated at both ends. Ethernet is a baseband
architecture that uses a bus topology. It usually transmits at 10 Mbps and
relies on CSMA/CD to regulate traffic on the main cable segment. The Ethernet
media is passive, which means it requires no power source of its own. Because
of this it will not fail unless the media is physically cut or improperly
terminated
