Dutch term or phrase: ringverbinding moet gesloten worden via een volledig gescheiden traject
Deze communicatie [=via veldbuskaarten] moet verlopen via een netwerk dat als een ringstructuur opgebouwd is. Deze ringverbinding moet gesloten worden via een volledig gescheiden traject dat langs de wegen minimaal 10 m uit elkaar ligt en op het viaduct minimaal 3 m uit elkaar ligt.

I'm having a little trouble trying to make sense of this sentence. Does it mean that the ring connection must be a completely separate route with components which are at least 10 meters apart along the roads etc?

Thanks

ring connection/circuit should be closed via a completely separate trajectory
Explanation:
Since the "network topography" is ring-shaped, the circle will have to be closed somewhere, implying that the network cables have to loop back somewhere. I think the idea is that the cables and components forming the ring should never be closer to each than the prescribed distances on roads and viaducts.

I think 'ring main' might be an alternative for 'ring connection' or 'ring main', but I'm not quite sure about that in this context. I think I'd go for 'ring circuit' myself [Kluwer Elektrotechniek: ringleiding (netwerk) = ring main, ring feeder, loop feeder].

Explanation:
the ring connection has to be closed/completed by a completely separate section/connection piece which has to be remoted from other pieces of the ring on 10m along roads and 3m along viaducts

neutral  Ken Cox: Strictly informational comment': AFAIK 'ring main' is only used for services (electrical, gas, water), not data networks. 'Ring circuit' sounds fine to me. I haven't any idea why a minimum ring dimension should be required.
