Tap Housing
2-6 Network Installation
The hardware components of a Local Line network consist of the following:
TIWAY I Tap Housing (PPX:500–5606)
Shielded, twisted-pair cabling (customer-supplied)
These components are described in the following sections.
The TIWAY I Tap Housing, shown in Figure 2-3, is designed specifically for
Local Line networks. The tap housing can be mounted rigidly to a NEMA
panel or other enclosure. It could also be used to splice cables in a cable tray
without being rigidly mounted.
The tap housing contains terminating resistors, and it also provides noise
isolation for attached cabling, resists moisture, and relieves strain, thus
allowing an orderly connection to the TIWAY I network. One tap housing is
provided with each Gateway Local Line connection.
