I'm in the Commercial Fire Alarm business; each device on a data-loop or
zone-string has "wires in - wires out", that is, each is on a terminal, but
never more than 2 conductors per terminal - the idea being exactly as J.
Young says - if any ONE conductor falls off, get broken, or is cut, the
"supervisory" circuitry tell you there's a "trouble". It's a principle
that's worked for years, and I never knew that NASA used the same thinking.
