ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for reducing impedance discontinuities which occur when two expansion connectors are located very close to one another on a bus in an information handling system. An interconnect is situated between the two expansion connectors and exhibits an impedance which is selected to be sufficiently low to compensate for the amount by which the impedance of the expansion bus connectors exceeds the impedance of the expansion bus connected thereto.
