ControlNet network connections are made by using taps and drop cables from the main trunk line.
Figure 2-109 shows examples of two different ControlNet tap and drop cables. Note that the
connector may be straight or right-angled, as seen here. Either can be used with the ControlNet
interface installed in a panel mount IND570. This drop cable is not supplied by METTLER TOLEDO.
