What is a backbone or trunk line?


The backbone, or trunk line, is the main network line usually running stem to stern in the vessel. Each end of the backbone or trunk line has a termination resistor. Individual products are connected to the network using drop lines off the main backbone or trunk line. "Tees" are used to connect the drops to the backbone or trunk line.
