Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically programming retimers for computer communications are disclosed. For example, in one aspect, a machine implemented method is disclosed that includes: detecting a cable related event at a port coupled to another device via a cable; determine a cable type and a cable length from a storage location of the port; determining if the cable type and the cable length are different from a previously stored cable type and cable length connecting the port to the other device; and when either the cable type or the cable length are different than the previously stored cable type and cable length, programming a retimer device based on the cable type and length.
