Note: In the event of a power failure at a wire node, the data is not regenerated locally, it is merely
fed through to the next node. Therefore, the total length of wire is the sum of both lengths of
wire between operating nodes. If the total length exceeds the maximum allowable length for
a given threshold, the network may lose communication. Separately powered repeaters may
be employed at each node in a point-to-point series connection to ensure data regeneration.
