75 Ohm Terminating Load

The Remote I/O system must be terminated with 75 ohm terminating

loads (M/N 45C71) attached to the taps or adapters located at both

ends ofthe coaxial cable network. This minimizes the signal

reflections which could interfere with other signals being transmitted

on the network. The terminating load consists ofa BNC plug

connector and an internal 75 ohm resistor. See figure 3.6.

BNC JackĆtoĆJack Adapter

The BNC jackĆtoĆjack inĆline splicing adapter is recommended for

making cable splices when the length ofa cable must be extended

(i.e, when adding a new drop). See figure 3.7. See Appendix G for

the recommended part.
