Abstract

See full text

A self-terminating network of stations connected by coaxial cable segments with each cable segment having ends with cable connectors for coupling to matching device connecters. Each connector has a switchable termination circuit de-activated by coupling to a matching connector. An uncoupled connector will serve as a terminator. The device connector can be a tap connector for mounting on a printed circuit board, for minimizing the length of the tap, and reducing the distrubance to an attached coaxial cable network.
