Abstract

A LAN which uses flat telephone cable having at least four conductors. The inner conductors are joined together and the outer conductors are joined together at each node thereby making reversals of the inner and outer conductors, which may occur at connectors, impossible. Each node uses two baluns to provide an unbalanced zone between the baluns for connecting to the DTE.
