Abstract

A multidrop cable may include multiple nodes electrically coupled thereon. The nodes may each include a respective PCB layer and a respective connector. The connector may provide connection between the transmission lines of the multidrop cable and the PCB layer. The PCB layer may include circuitry to reduce an induced noise of the multidrop cable by adding twist to the respective signals of the transmission lines. The PCB layer may also preserve the characteristic impedance of the multidrop cable by providing inductance in series between the respective signals of the transmission lines.
