Figure 2.72 Two Wire RS-485 Wiring
PPCs Mounted Close Together
In installations where two or more PPCs are close enough
together that using terminal strips or modular jack junction
boxes would result in greater lengths of flat cable than the
distance between the communications ports use modular jack
splitters and flat oval cables with RJ12 connectors on both
ends. See Figure 2.73.
