Local Line Tap Housings
The tap housing, shown in Figure 2, is made by Siemens specifically for its Local Line
network. The tap housing can be mounted rigidly to a NEMA panel or other enclosure. It
can also be used to splice cables in a cable tray without being rigidly mounted. The tap
housing not only allows an orderly connection to the TIWAY I network, but also contains
terminating resistors, resists moisture, relieves strain, and provides noise isolation for
attached cabling.
Tap housings are included for each Local Line port; however, extras may be ordered from
your Applications Engineering Distributor or from Siemens. Order PPX:500–5606.
