Electronic equipment with separable communications elements and electronic system having the same

An electronic system comprising:

• two electronic devices;
• and
• an electronic equipment comprising:
• a first communications element comprising:
• a first housing;
• a first interface mounted on the first housing;
• and
• a first transceiver mounted in the first housing, and electrically connected to the first interface;
• and
• a second communications element mechanically and electrically connectable to and disconnectable from the first communications element, comprising:
• a second housing;
• a second interface mounted on the second housing;
• and
• a second transceiver mounted in the second housing, and electrically connected to the second interface;
• wherein the first interface is mechanically and electrically connectable to at least one of the two electronic devices, the second interface is mechanically and electrically connectable to at least the other one of the two electronic devices, and the first transceiver and the second transceiver are configured to communicate with each other;
• whereby when the first interface is connected to one of the two electronic devices, the second interface is connected to the other one of the two electronic devices, and the first communications element and the second communications element are disconnected from each other, then the first transceiver and the second transceiver are operable to establish communication between each of the two electronic devices and the entire electronic equipment.
