Abstract
Passive star topology and fiber-optic passive star systems are described. Technologies for passive star local area network (LAN) systems and their installation are discussed. It is contended that passive optical star systems represent an attractive and versatile architecture for implementation of many fiber-optic LANs, and that passive star topology best achieves the system goals of versatility, reliability, noise immunity, and data security
