The EIA Consumer Electronic Bus twisted pair network

The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Consumer Electronic Bus (CEBus) twisted pair (TP) network is described. The TP network is one of several 'hard' media supported by the CEBus home automation standard for consumer device communications in the home. The network development is a result of a desire to have a dedicated, high-speed medium, easily installed in the home at low cost, that could support the communication needs of devices which are normally interconnected by low-voltage wiring. The author covers the development goals, network topology, media, media frequency use, coexistence with other services, and device interfaces.<
