Abstract

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
