German term or phrase: Station
Hi,

The telecommunications-related decison in the appeal proceedings revolves around "Teilnehmeranschlussleitung", "local loop".

=> Station does not sound as good, never mind whether it is correct or not. So what could I put? See "unit" which I sometimes use to avoid the word "station" does not convince me all that much as it does not match the technical picture created in the German-speaking reader's mind by the sentence below. Stops ... please can you help me out? That would be great.

DE:
Das Computer Fachlexikon (Anlage L8) definiere „loop configuration“ als eine „Kommunikationsverbindung, bei der mehrere ***Stationen*** über eine Leitung in Form einer geschlossenen Schleife verbunden sind“, das Elsevier’s Telecommunication Dictionary (1960) als „1. Schleife[,] 2. Windung“ und das Wörterbuch der exakten Naturwissenschaften und der Technik verweise unter „loop“ (EDV) auf „program loop“ [deutsch: „Programmschleife“] (Anlage L9).

agree  Chris Pr: A solid ref goes a long way... Also, I'd keep the full 'link station' for extra emphasis...

station units


Explanation:
This can solve the problem - keeping the technical part, but also bringing the reader back to what it actually is, especially if you are using the word "unit" in other places also...

So: Communication link hub, where several station units are connected via a cable, and in the form of a closed loop.
