  • Fault isolation in interconnect systems
    Patent number: 8015458
    Abstract: A loopback connector for a system can include a connector arrangement connectable to connector of a system component and/or a cable. The loopback connector can include loopback logic for simulating cable and/or system component functionality. In an example implementation the loopback connector can also operate to protect a system component and/or cable connector during shipping.

  • Using a portion of differential signal line to provide an embedded common mode filter
    Patent number: 7944477
    Abstract: In order to provide filtering of clock noise from an integrated circuit at least one differential signal line connected to the integrated circuit is provided with an embedded common mode filter. The common mode filter can be provided in the form of a hollowed out portion of an impedance reference plane.

  • Cable interconnect systems with cable connectors implementing storage devices
    Patent number: 7766692
    Abstract: In order to monitor connectivity status associated with an interconnect cable from the end-points to which either end of the cable is attached, a storage device storing a field replaceable unit identifier is provided to uniquely identify a cable end-point, which identifier can then be accessed to determine the connectivity status.
