    Abstract: A switching apparatus for providing a single-pair Ethernet (SPE/T1-Ethernet) connection, has a first interface (I1) and second interface (I2), wherein the first interface is a multi-pole and in particular a MIL or RMII interface, and the second interface is a dual-pole SPE/T1-specific interface. The switching apparatus furthermore has first electronics suitable for 100Base-T1 operation and/or second electronics suitable for 10Base-T1L operation and/or third electronics suitable for 10Base-T1S operation of the second interface. Also disclosed is an Ethernet switch and to an SPE/T1 development board that each have an above switching apparatus.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus (“utility”) for facilitating connection of rack-mounted data devices (50) to a data network is provided. The utility includes a distribution strip (42) and a number of network ports (44), disposed on the distribution strip (42), for use in connecting the rack-mounted data devices (50) to the network. The distribution strip (42) has a longitudinal axis, and is disposed on a rack (40) such that a length of the distribution strip (42), defined relative to the longitudinal axis, extends primarily or exclusively along a vertical axis of the rack (40). The distribution strip may further include a data network switch device. A utility is also provided that provides improved redundancy with regard to connections of rack-mounted data devices by including a distribution strip (42) that includes first and second ports (46) for connecting the distribution strip (42) to a network device (56).

    Abstract: A small form-factor pluggable transceiver is coupled to a cable connector and a network device. The small form-factor pluggable transceiver includes a first connection port, a conversion unit, a transceiver unit, and a second connection port. The conversion unit includes a bandwidth indication pin, and the transceiver unit includes a detection pin. The transceiver unit operates in a normal state based on providing a first voltage level by the detection pin, and operates in an abnormal state based on providing the second voltage level by the detection pin. The bandwidth indication pin indicates that a signal source received by the first connection port is a copper cable-type signal source, and indicates that a rate of the signal source is an invalid rate. The detection pin provides the first voltage level based on the invalid rated by being coupled to a ground point.
