{{main|Network topology#Daisy chain}}
Any particular daisy chain forms one of two network topologies:

* Linear topology: For example, A-B-C-D-E, A-B-C-D-E & C-M-N-O (branched at C) are daisy chain.
* Ring topology: there is a loop connection back from the last device to the first. For example, A-B-C-D-E-A (loop). This is often called a "daisy chain loop".<ref>{{citation |title=IR3508Z data sheet |quote=The last phase IC is connected back to ... the control IC to complete the daisy chain loop |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230442/http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/ir3508zmpbf.pdf |archive-date=2016-03-03 |url=http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/ir3508zmpbf.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author1=Joel Konicek |author2=Karen Little |title=Security, ID Systems and Locks: The Book on Electronic Access Control|date=1997 |page=170: daisy chain loop illustration |publisher=Butterworth-Heinemann |isbn=978-0-7506-9932-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9ffCiw9fUncC&dq=%22daisy+chain+loop%22&pg=PA170}}</ref>
