USER MANUAL
The
TIW
AY
I Local Line interface has the advantage of being more economical
than
the modem interface since
the media is shielded twisted pair cable, such as
Belden
9860 or Belden 9271. Figure 4–2 shows the
TIW
A
Y I bus structure with
the
network trunkline cable, which can generally extend up to 25,000 feet
with
droplines
up to 100 feet in length. Figure 4–3 is a chart showing the
maximum
cable
distances compared to the number of stations on the TIW
A
Y I network.
NOTE
PM550 CIM users should refer to Appendix C fordifferent media length factors.
