A cable network architecture wherein optical fibres radiate outwards from the head end or a point on a fibre-ring(a "node") to local networks serving a neighbourhood or subdivision. This is similar to the "switched-star" architecture of telephone systems-however, in the telephone case, each wire(twisted pair) serves an individual subscriber. 1, record 1, English, - star%20architecture

Architecture d'un réseau de câble où les fibres optiques irradient extérieurement de la tête de ligne ou d'un point situé sur un anneau de fibre optique («un nœud») à des réseaux locaux desservant un quartier ou une subdivision.
