Patent attributes
A system comprising a first filter having an input and an output adapted to compensate for the characteristics of a first length of twisted-pair wire is disclosed. A first bypass path has an input and an output for bypassing the first filter. A second filter has an input and an output adapted to compensate for the characteristics of a first length of twisted-pair wire. A second bypass path has an input and an output for bypassing the first filter. A third filter has an input and an output adapted to compensate for the characteristics of a first length of twisted-pair wire. A third bypass path has an input and an output for bypassing the first filter. The three filters can be configured form a signal path or one or more filters removed from the signal path by switching in bypass paths.
