  • Multi-port communications switch with automated flip emulation
    Patent number: 10613952
    Abstract: Embodiments provide multi-port communications switches with automated flip emulation for multi-orientation data connectors, for example, to test data connector system components. One embodiment includes multiple ports, each with pins adapted to electrically couple with corresponding structures of a data connector when the connector is physically coupled with the port in any of multiple connector orientations. A flip controller couples pins of first and second ports in accordance with a selected configuration, such that: in a first mode, the flip controller effectively emulates the coupled ports being in a same connector orientation; and in a second mode, the flip controller effectively emulates the coupled ports being in different orientations (e.g., as if one of the connectors is flipped over).
