It is easier to visualise using the term "multiplex". The term CAN-Bus refers to a Controlled Area Network which, to the DIY towbar fitter means absolutely nothing. So what are "multiplexed" and "CAN-Bus" systems? This guide does not set out to give such a complete understanding, rather to give a general idea of the nature of the systems - it should not be viewed as an electronics textbook, indeed the vaguaries of the guide may seem incorrect to the expert - however the expert is not who this guide is aimed at. In some ways the systems are complex, but it is not necessary to have a complete understanding of these systems in order to fit towing electrics.
You may hear these systems referred to as "multiplexed" or "CAN-Bus" systems, which all sounds quite complicated. Many modern vehicles cut down on weight, size and volume of the wiring looms by using electronic control systems to operate the vehicle's lights. For both people undertaking fitting a towbar for the first time, and those who have fitted a towbar previously and are considering fitting a towbar to a modern car, the prospect of wiring the towing electrics may seem daunting at first.
