Abstract:
An information handling system port selectively communicates differential and single-ended signals from port pins to a cable coupled with the port so that bandwidth of information sent through the port increases if a cable accepts single-ended signals. Single-ended signals sent from the port pins are provided to a redriver of the cable to generate differential signals on wireline pairs of the cable. The redriven single-ended signals effectively double the bandwidth from reconfigured differential pairs of a port without increasing the port footprint or altering the port from a standard form factor, such as a Type-C USB form factor.
