Connecting Terminating Resistors
There are three methods that can be used to connect Terminating Resistor.
Method 1:
Connect a Flat Connector Socket to the trunk line or sub-trunk line and then
connect a Terminating Resistor to the Connector.
Method 2:
Connect a Multi-wiring Connector to the communications connector for the
upstream port on the Slave Unit or Repeater Unit and then connect the trunk
line cable and a Terminating Resistor to the Multi-wiring Connector.
Method 3:
Connect a Terminating Resistor to the trunk line or sub-trunk line cable.
Models and Characteristics of Terminating Resistors
There are two types of Terminating Resistor: the Connector-type and the Ter-
minal Block-type.
