Notes:
1. Worst case distance figures are based on variations in device distribution,
device temperature, device voltage, wire characteristics, and FT 5000
Smart Transceiver or Neuron Chip characteristics, and allow for an
average wire temperature of up to +55 °C.
2. Network length for TP/FT-10 channel varies by wire type.
Free Topology TP/FT-10 and TP/FT-10F
The following sections describe the wire characteristics and cabling terminations
for Free Topology TP/FT-10 channels. The FT 5000 Control Module and the
Neuron 3150 TP/FT-10 and TP/FT-10F Control Modules use a Free Topology
TP/FT-10 channel.
