Multipoint Twisted Pair Connection
The Model 1080ARC supports multipoint applications using a star topol-
ogy. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the
number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Patton Technical Sup-
port for specific distance estimates. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show how to
wire the one-pair and two-pair cables properly for a Model 1080ARC star
topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.
