Daisy Chain Topology

Daisy chain topology is used in real-world applications like LED strips, audio devices, USB hubs, and industrial sensors. Its sequential connectivity simplifies wiring and cost.

Daisy chain topology has limited scalability. As devices increase, signal degradation, latency, and fault risk rise. The linear design restricts performance in larger networks.

Daisy chain topology is inherently less fault-tolerant. A failure in one device or cable disrupts downstream connections. Unlike mesh or star networks, there’s no alternative data path.

Daisy chain topology differs from star, mesh, and bus topologies in layout and reliability. Unlike a star, where devices connect to a central hub, daisy chains form a straight or looped line.

Daisy chain topology connects devices linearly, one after another, using a single cable path. It’s a simple configuration, commonly used in small networks.
