In building a small low power CAN network (~1m, ~10 nodes) I'm thinking of how the wiring can be. It has to have four wires (CANH, CANL, Power and GND). The "master" node will power the rest of the nodes. In the attachment there's a high level block diagram and several random wiring ideas. There can be two options: a daisy-chained architecture or a central hub. Given that I have four wires maybe a hub would be more compact, but the daisy chain could give more flexibility depending on the location of the nodes. The IDC one looks good, maybe it can be modified with an smaller connector and twisted ribbon cable. The drawback is that flat ribbon takes more space. So I basically brainstorming right now. Any ideas or suggestions?
