I have no idea, but even if you are wrong by half, the amount of
reflection on the line will be negligible. For example, a source
impedance of 50 Ohm, and load impedance of 100 Ohms, produces an SWR of
2:1 and a reflection coefficient of 0.3333. The square of 0.3333 is
0.1111, or 1/9, fractional. This means that eight-ninths of the power
from your network card would actually be delivered to
the load (minus
any losses in the cable). The remaining one-ninth is reflected
from the
load and is only a minor source interference to the data on the line.

Hi,
I don't suppose anybody happens to know the right value of terminating
resistors to use on a Research Machines network? I was thinking of doing a
health check on my old 480Z fileserver, but can't remember what values I used
last time. I'm almost certain they were 50 ohm, but it'd be nice to know for
sure.
cheers
Jules
