2.2 DESCRIPTION

Use twisted pair telephone line instead of coax cable for your IBM
3270 computer system: Most IBM 3270 computer systems are con­nected together using coax cables with twist-type BNC connectors.
These cables are fairly expensive to purchase and costly to install. On
the other hand, most buildings are already wired for telephone sys­tems, and it is quite easy to use this existing telephone wiring to con­nect computer equipment.

With a pair of Patton Electronics Model 400 baluns, any IBM 3270
Type A equipment can be interconnected over single-pair telephone
wire at distances up to 1200 feet! This can result in significant sav­ings!
