House battery project is almost done but the required terminating resistor is AWOL. I only have a couple 100s and lots of 470s. I could get close by paralleling 2 100s and put another 100 in series --> 150 Ohms. Or parallel four 470s --> 118 Ohms.

I don't know about the tolerances for Modbus termination. Anyone know if a single 100 Ohm resistor has a chance of working?

Edit: Cable length is about 29 ft (~9 meters) Cat6

Use four 470 resistors. Get the value correct so later debugging doesn't have to consider the differing resistance a possible cause (check the quad with a meter and it might even be closer to 120 due to tolerance).
