Estimating the term…
A cable assembly includes first and second active elements interconnected via a cable, wherein the first active element comprises circuitry configured to transmit to the second active element an original differential signal comprising a positive- (P-) side and a corresponding negative- (N-) side and determine a P/N skew in a corresponding reflected signal comprising a portion of the original differential signal reflected back from the second active element to the first active element, the first active element further comprising circuitry configured to compensate for the determined P/N skew during transmission of a subsequent differential signal.

A method for compensating for P/N skew in an active cable assembly comprising first and second active elements interconnected via a cable, the method comprising:
An active cable assembly comprising first and second active elements interconnected via a cable, wherein the first active element comprises circuitry configured to transmit to the second active element a differential signal comprising a positive- (P-) side and a corresponding negative- (N-) side and the second active element comprises circuitry configured to sense at least one characteristic of the differential signal indicative of a delay mismatch between the P-side and the N-side, the second active element further comprising circuitry configured to communicate the at least one characteristic to the first active element, the first active element further comprising circuitry configured to compensate for the delay mismatch during transmission of a subsequent differential signal.
