RE: [KAT5] Question from non-expert

["Tony Butler" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Keith would be the one to ask about this - you *might* be able to get away
with this by changing the values of the terminating resistors, either
doubling or halving them I (I can never remember which way around it should
be when doing things in parallel - usually the opposite of what I think it
is though!)
Depends on if the TX unit needs to "see" a total of XX ohms
resistance from
the other end, or if there needs to be XX ohms at each terminator.

As I say, Keith would be the real man to tell you, but he is out of action
for a little while....

Cheers,

T.
