Due to the nature of Token Ring, which eliminates collisions between data packets, many MAUs were manufactured as hubs. This design choice reflects the network's emphasis on efficiency and reliability.

The Token Ring network, in its physical layout, adopts a star-like wiring configuration. This design involves placing 'MAUs' (Media Access Units) at the center, functioning as the nexus of the network.

Extending from the MAUs are 'arms' that connect to each individual station on the network. These arms ensure that data can flow efficiently between the central MAUs and the various stations.

A unique aspect of the Token Ring network is the loop that goes out-and-back through each station. This loop is crucial for the transmission of tokens, which grant stations permission to send data.

The MAUs in a Token Ring network can take the form of a hub or a switch. Both serve as essential components for managing and facilitating data flow within the network.
