Abstract
A signal transmission apparatus has several serially-connected signal distribution modules, wherein interfaces of two adjacent signal distribution modules are each interconnected by a signal bridge. The signal transmission apparatus also has at least one direct connection between two signal distribution modules, which is routed through all signal bridges arranged between the two adjacent signal distribution modules and interconnects the interfaces of the adjacent signal bridges. In addition, a signal transmission bus is routed through all signal bridges and via all interfaces. The interfaces of all signal distribution modules have an identical design and all signal bridges connect two interfaces in the same way.
