Abstract

A data communication field network has a plurality of subscribers connected to it in parallel which have a high input impedance as compared with the characteristic impedance of the network which comprises a main bus into which are inserted first drop and insert devices to constitute secondary buses each comprising two first branches. The connecting device comprises a cable assembly comprising at least two second drop and insert devices inserted into one of the first branches. Each second drop and insert device provides a tertiary bus comprising two second branches. Each tertiary bus is adapted to connect one subscriber and the second branches of the tertiary bus are interconnected at the subscriber connection so as to ensure continuity of the field network and to maintain impedance matching throughout the network.
