1. A system comprising:
- a first inductive coupler for coupling a data signal between a port of said first inductive coupler and a first subset of a plurality of electrically parallel conductors; and
a second inductive coupler for coupling said data signal between a port of said second inductive coupler and a second subset of said plurality of conductors.

Abstract
There is provided a system including (a) a first inductive coupler for coupling a data signal between a port of the first inductive coupler and a first subset of a plurality of electrically parallel conductors, and (b) a second inductive coupler for coupling the data signal between a port of the second inductive coupler and a second subset of the plurality of conductors. There are also provided methods for arranging such a system.
