In Data Rate of 3
Mbps
* This is the maximum number of Slave and Repeater Units that can be

branch connections. The purpose of T-branching here is to have a sub-
branch line.
In Data Rate of 1.5
Mbps
*1 This is the maximum number of Slave and Repeater Units that can be
connected to a branch line through the use of multidrop connections or T-
branch connections. The purpose of T-branching here is to have a sub-
