RBSU/RBSS Passive Bus Configurations
The placement of S-type TE and TA devices on the BRI S-passive bus is critical for good RBSU/
RBSS BRI circuit performance. Figures 5-17~5-20 show four passive bus architectures that are
known to work. In all installations, follow the guidelines of any of these passive-bus models using
the wire, cables, and jacks described in the previous paragraphs.
