 Terminators
y Terminators prevent distortion and signal loss.
y Terminators are an impedance matching module used at each end of the
transmission line.
y Two, and only two, per segment (end of segment).

 Cable Length Restrictions
The use of repeaters expand the total segments length. This would only be necessary if
the additional cable was a long stretch.
y Total segment length is limited to 200 meters with a baud rate of 1500 kbit/s.
y The total number of segments can be 10 depending of the type of repeaters
(use vendor specs)
y Maximum admissible distance between two devices
(NO_REP + 1)* Segment length
Note: In the example above, the number of repeaters is 1 and the segment length is
200 meters.Therefore, 1 + 1 x 200 = 400 meters.
NO_REP = Depends on repeater type
