What is a stub in the peripheral?

A stub in the peripheral refers to a relatively short piece of a cable or wire that is attached to the main transmission line or bus and usually terminates abruptly. It acts as a passive device with a known impedance value that helps to reduce signal reflections and improve signal integrity in high-speed data transmission systems. Stubs can be either open or short, and they are commonly found in computer and telecommunications networks, as well as in other electronic systems such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Proper design and placement of stubs can help to limit signal distortion and ensure reliable communication between devices.
