1. A communication network, comprising:
- a dominant node having a predetermined coupling impedance;
a plurality of end nodes coupled to said dominant node, each of said plurality having an end node coupling impedance, wherein a total of each said end node coupling impedance and said predetermined coupling impedance is a defined maximum loading impedance for said communication network;
wherein an end node coupling impedance of one of said plurality of end nodes is determined based on said predetermined coupling impedance and end node coupling impedances of remaining ones of said plurality of end nodes.

Abstract
A communications network, a HVAC system employing a communications system and a method of manufacturing a component for the HVAC system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the communications network includes: (1) a dominant node having a predetermined coupling impedance and (2) a plurality of end nodes coupled to the dominant node, each of the plurality having an end node coupling impedance, wherein a total of each the end node coupling impedance and the predetermined coupling impedance is substantially a defined maximum loading impedance for the communication network.
