High data rate interconnecting device
First Claim
1. Interconnect apparatus for providing a communication path for data signals in a predetermined frequency band, comprising:
- first and second sections of a transmission line, connected at one end to first and second data transceiving devices, respectively;
a switch, having conductive/non-conductive states, for connecting/disconnecting between the other ends of said first and said second sections, for providing a data communication path between said data transceiving devices while being in its conductive state;
third and fourth sections of a transmission line, respectively connected at one end to first and second contacts of said switch and at the other end to first and second connectors, said first and second connectors connectable via a cord; and
a compensation circuitry to compensate, within said frequency band, for parasitic effects caused by said switch and/or cord while said switch being in its conductive or non-conductive state, such that said compensation circuitry compensates for the influence of parasitic effects introduced along said communication path by said switch while being in its non-conductive state and said compensation circuitry compensates for the influence of parasitic effects introduced along said communication path by said third and fourth sections and said connectors while said switch being in its conductive state.

Abstract
An interconnect apparatus for providing a communication path for data signals in a predetermined frequency band, that includes a first and a second sections of a transmission line, connected at one end to first and second data transceiving devices, respectively. A switch, such as a mechanical, electro-mechanical, electronic, electro-magnetic and electro-optical switch, having conductive/non-conductive states, is provided for connecting/disconnecting between the other ends of the first and the second sections, for providing a data communication path between the data transceiving devices while being in its conductive state a third and a fourth sections of a transmission line, each of which connected at one end to a contact of the switch and at the other end to a first and a second connector, respectively. A compensation circuitry is provided for compensating, within the frequency band, parasitic effects caused by the switch and/or cord, while the switch is in its conductive state or, while the switch is in its non-conductive state and while a connection between the first and the second connectors is provided by a cord having predetermined characteristics, such that the compensation circuitry compensates the influence of parasitic effects introduced along the communication path by the switch while being in its non-conductive state and while the cord is a part of the communication path or, by the combination of the third and a fourth sections and the connectors while the switch is in its conductive state.
