Abstract
A multi-LAN, 0dB insertion loss, analogue crosspoint switch chip-set is described which forms the heart of a new LAN cable management product [1]. The chip-set is capable of switching FDDI (TP-PMD), Ethernet, Token Ring and Half-Duplex protocols through a matrix of 108 × 108 cross-connects for services using 100m of unshielded twisted pair cabling and data rates of up to 100Mb/s using commercial CMOS and BiCMOS technologies.
