Terminator Overview

Electrical termination of a signal involves using a terminator at the end of a wire or cable to prevent the signal from being reflected back from the end, causing interference. The terminator is placed at the end of a transmission line, designed to match impedance and hence, minimize signal reflections (from Wikipedia). In VidCAD, you can use the terminator symbol (shown below) in diagram drawings, and it can be added to a project database as a piece of equipment for reporting purposes.
