What does bus in bus cable stand for?

In: Computer Hardware [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

It doesn't stand for anything. Bus refers to a number of things but generally it's a pathway between a resource and a device on a computer, which is presumably why it's called a bus (even though the transferal bears no resemblance to the route of an 'omnibus')
