What is Free Topology?
Unlike bus wiring designs in which all devices connect directly to the main line, our free topology (FT) twisted-pair technology lets installers use any type of networking topology — star, bus, daisy chain, loop, or a combination — to signal over copper wire.
FT offers many advantages:
- Installers can choose the wiring method that best suits the installation, reducing planning time and allowing last-minute changes on site.
- Retrofit installations can use existing wiring with minimal or no rewiring.
- Network expansion is accomplished by simply tapping into the existing wiring where it is most convenient. For installers, this reduces time and expense; for customers, it reduces network lifecycle cost.
