Re: How to terminate a twinax termination for a 3487 dumb terminal

Is there anything else I can check? The device shows as very on pending and the cursor is on the upper right of the screen. It is like it is not there. I have checked the connections and all seems OK. I will see if I can find another real twinax cable (instead of the bailins) to check the connection.

While I did say that Twinax tends to be very forgiving of improper termination, the same cannot be said of its reaction to being hooked up with anything other than real Twinax cable.

My own experience with baluns (not spelling) and either phone cable or Cat5 has been as uniformly unreliable as my experience with real Twinax cables (even with weird topology) has been uniformly reliable.
