Connect Taps with Trunk Cable
You can increase the distance between Y-taps and T-taps by using sections of trunk
cable between taps. Connecting taps by this method requires use of the BNC
connectors (included) and cable (not included) with the tap kit.
Connect Taps with Barrel Connectors
You can connect T-taps installed on one DIN rail with barrel (plug-to-plug)
connectors. T-taps connected using barrel connectors (1786-BNCP) requires that
taps be mounted using the transition plate and on one DIN rail.
IMPORTANT
Do not use barrel connectors to connect taps on separate DIN rails. Barrel
connectors should be used only if taps are securely mounted. Insecure
mounts or use of barrel connectors between multiple DIN rails may result in
loose connections and tap failure.
