Abstract
The invention relates to a module for inserting into a device with a rear panel comprising a crossed pair of electric lines with a first line and a second line. The module can be connected to the lines of said crossed pair of electric lines by means of a respective plug-in connection. According to the invention, the module comprises a device that compensates for the crossing of the pair of electric lines in the rear panel.
Claims12
A module for insertion into a device comprising:
- a rear panel having a crossed line pair with a first line and a second line, the module adapted to be connected via one plug-in connector to the first and second lines;
- and
- a device that compensates for the crossing of the pair of lines in the rear panel.
A rear panel for inserting two largely identical modules comprising a plurality of plug-in connectors in the same geometrical arrangement being provided for each module and a pair of plug-in connectors for the first module being connected to the corresponding pair of connectors for the second module via crossed lines, wherein one plug-in connector for the first module is connected on the rear panel to a specific potential and the corresponding connector for the second module is connected on the rear panel to another potential or is unconnected on the rear panel.
A bidirectional multiplexer, comprising:
- four groups of terminals, the first group and the second group including two inputs and one output and the third group and the fourth group including two outputs and one input;
- and
- a control input, wherein the terminals of the first group of terminals being connected to those of the third group of terminals and those of the second group of terminals being connected to those of the fourth group of terminals when the potential applied to the control input lies within a particular range of potentials and otherwise the terminals of the first group of terminals being connected to those of the fourth group of terminals and those of the second group of terminals being connected to those of the third group of terminals.
