Typical multipoint set-up

Multipoint Twisted Pair Connection

The ME475A-R2 supports multipoint applications using a star topology. Maximum dis-
tance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire 
gauge, etc. The diagrams below show how to wire the one-pair and two-pair cables 
properly for a star topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.
