ControlNet Cable System Overview Chapter 1
Elements Comprising the
Coax Media System
The ControlNet coax media system consists of components, such as the trunk,
drop cables, taps, cable connectors, terminating resistors, nodes, and repeaters
to create segments, links, and bridges for network communication.
For information on purchasing components, see the ControlNet Media
System Component List, publication
.
Node
Nodes are the physical devices that require an address to function on the
ControlNet network. You can use ControlNet media system components,
such as repeaters, to extend your network for a maximum of 99 nodes on a
ControlNet network.
Tap
A tap connects each
via a drop cable on a network to the coax media
system. The taps are fixed at 1 meter in length, so each device is within
1 meter (3.28 ft) of the trunk cable.
Spare taps can be installed to add future devices. You
must put a
(catalog number 1786-TCAP) on each spare tap to prevent
noise in the system.
