We have now started to
replace the old BNC network cables by twisted pair cables. One of
the major problems with BNC has been that one malfunctioning station
could break the whole network. Twisted pair cabling improves this by
connecting all stations first to a so-called `HUB' in a star topology.
We also need twisted-pair cables for faster networks like
fast-Ethernet.
