Daisy chain
<networking> A
bus wiring scheme in which, for example, device A is wired to device B, device B is wired to device C, etc.
The last device is normally wired to a resistor or
terminator.
All devices may receive identical signals or, in contrast to a simple bus, each device in the chain may modify one or more signals before passing them on.
Characteristic of
RS-485, of
Apple's
LocalTalk, and of various industrial control networks; also often used to describe Thinwire {Ethernet} (10base2).
