It has a single-ended TTL input and differential 124 Ω RS-422 outputs. Each channel has a 50 Ω TTL/CMOS compatible input and a pair of differential 124 Ω outputs for driving long lines, in excess of 100 ft, terminated into differential 124 Ω loads. The input threshold voltage can be selected between 1.5 V and 1.0 V using a front panel switch. The 1.0 V threshold makes it
