About Mounting Taps
The following general rules should be applied when mounting taps:
l
There is no minimum trunk cable length requirement between taps. Adjacent taps can be connected
(without a trunk cable at all) using a barrel connector (TC-MC3BNC).
l
Make sure the mounting location is convenient for your cable routing.
l
Make sure the mounting location does not cause any cable bend-radii to exceed the limits given in
Installing Trunk Cable.
l
Do not mount the tap in a position that routes the drop-cable or trunk-cable over any ac power
terminals on nearby modules.
For more details on selecting where to mount taps, refer to the
Control Hardware Planning Guide.
