Overview

The Modicon MA-0185-100 Tap is designed to connect drop cables to the main trunk cable within a network, effectively isolating the RIO drop adapter from the rest of the system. This tap is nondirectional, meaning it allows signals to propagate in both directions along the trunk cable. Each MA-0185-100 Tap features one drop port and two trunk ports, facilitating seamless network integration and signal distribution.
