Abstract

See full text

A first device port and a second device port are connected using a first cable and a second cable. The first device port and the second device port use a divisible number of lanes, X for communication. The first cable uses X′ lanes, where X′ is less than X. The second cable uses X-X′ lanes, where X-X′ is also less than X. If the first cable is disconnected or fails, then the second cable is used after a failover operation.
