The MPI interconnecting cables are available in different lengths.
Network
When installing a network, observe the following basic rules:

3. At least 1 terminal must be supplied with 5 V.
Note
The NCU must be located at the end of the connection.
4. Drop cables (feeder cable from bus segment to node) should be as short as

Only two inserted terminating resistors are permitted.
In the case of the HHU/HT 6, bus terminating resistors are permanently

This is done by connecting an MPI connector with the terminating resistor
