Abstract:

A communication coupling includes a communication port, which communicates with a network component. The communication port includes first and second paths of communication with the network component. A switch may be coupled with the communication port. The switch includes a first position in which the communication port receives a first communication signal from the network component using the first path of communication and transmits a second communication signal to the network component using the second path of communication. The switch may also include a second position in which the first communication port receives the first communication signal from the network component using the second communication path and transmits the second communication signal to the network component using the first communication path.
