Abstract
A data communications network comprises a plurality of terminals (30, 31, . . . 34) which are interconnected by a contra-rotative ring pair of lines (35, 36), so as to be able to send data to and receive data from all the other terminals in the network. Each terminal has a pair of stations (A, B), each linked to said pair. The network is characterized in that one station associated with any one terminal is arranged to be as distant as possible in a topological sense from its associated pair.
