ABSTRACT:
A mechanism uses in-situ bidirectional cable wrapping for determining different cable lengths. A calibration mechanism calibrates the high speed transmitter/receiver pair characteristics, and, thus, optimizes the transmission performance between subsystems. The calibration mechanism mitigates the need for frequent error correction and does not incur the performance degradation associated with error correction techniques.
