Yes, I understand that. Perhaps you should read the manuals for both the DBH and DBHR very carefully to understand the difference. It explains it better than I can, but the DBH essentially daisy chains the devices together at the hub and terminates with the plug. This method requires a homerun cable from each bus device to the hub. The DBHR splits the bus into 4 separate manageable branches each with its own termination. That means you can daisy chain devices together remotely without having to homerun cables back to the hub.
Remember, this will work, you just have to remember you need to homerun ALL BUS DEVICES (keypads, input or output expanders, relays boards, etc) to the hub which is in your basement next to the M1. My point is if you decide to add a new bus device (most likely an additional input expander) in the future you will need to run a cat5 wire from that expander down to the hub in the basement instead of just running a short wire to the adjacent expander on that floor.
Perhaps if someone else understands what I'm saying and agrees they can explain it better...
