The RS-485 Output can be split in two directions as shown in Figure 3-9. This allows
the NetClock/GTP to be centrally located. Connecting in this method can simplify
installation and possibly reduce the amount of cable required.
FIGURE 3-9 SPLIT BUS CONFIGURATION
Most RS-485 connections found on Spectracom equipment are made using a
removable terminal strip. Wires are secured by a jaw that compresses the wires
when tightened. When using small diameter wire, 22-26 gauge, a strain relief
can be fashioned by wrapping the stripped wire over the insulating jacket as
shown in Figure 3-10. Wrapping the wires in this manner prevents smaller gauge
wires from breaking off when exposed to handling or movement.
