5.4 Routing the Cables
Figure 51 shows typical cable routing of the network trunk cable
between tap locations. The figure also shows cable drops to several
node devices and a service access point.
Note: The tap’s internal termination jumpers are connected at the
two end sites of a cable section, and disconnected and removed at each
inline site on the cable section. Chapter 1 describes the meaning of a
cable section.
If you are installing cables for a dual-cable network, the two cables
should be identified as Cable A and Cable B. Each of the cables should
be routed using the methods shown in Figure 51.
