Abstract
For adjusting a signal transmission direction in a cable, which is configured to be electrically coupled between a first interface port and a second interface port, an electric characteristic on at least a first pin of the first interface port is detected. Then a signal transmission direction of at least one pair of differential signal transmission channels in the cable is controlled to change from a first direction to a second direction different from the first direction, provided that a communication protocol between the first interface port and the second interface port is changed from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol, and the electric characteristic complies with a first condition.
