Chapter 7 Terminal Connections
DH+ Network Connections
Use a Belden 9463 twin-axial or equivalent cable, catalog number 1770-CD, to
connect a terminal to a DH+ link.
You can connect a DH+ link in two ways:
• Trunk line/drop line - from the drop line to the connector screw
terminals on the DH+ connectors of the processor.
• Daisy chain - to the connector screw terminals on the DH+ connectors
on the processor.
Follow these guidelines when installing DH+ communication links:
• Do not exceed these cable lengths:
– Trunk line-cable length: 3,048 m (10,000 ft)
– Drop-cable length: 30.4 m (100 ft)
The maximum cable length is determined by the baud rate.
• Do not connect more than 64 stations on a single DH+ link.
