Optical data coupler LS611
Initial operation
18
As the internal bus connections are switched parallel, the inputs and outputs for the bus
cable are identical for the bus cable.

Topology
A pair of optical data couplers acts as a repeater; the maximum bus cable lengths refer
to the respective segments only. In case of illustration 6.16 the maximum length can be
laid between the terminating resistors, and the maximum number of stations can be con-
nected to all lines.
Table 6.15
Topology
Like in repeaters, star or tree topologies may be set up through light paths.
