It had occurred to me to wonder if some poor tech had measured out, say, 151 meters of cable where 152.5 was called for by the "exactly every 2.5M spec). It would seem that any attempt to add an extra 1.5 was believed to be called for in order to install a terminator would have resulted in a "cure" worse than simple adding the terminator at the end of the cable. --Chuck
