Abstract
A connector link contains a distributor having demultiplexers and multiplexers for the division of a data signal having a high data rate or the division of up to n data signals having lower data rates onto n parallel data paths. As a result thereof, one data signal having a high data rate or a plurality of data signals having a lower data rate can be optionally transmitted. Generally, an auxiliary channel for the transmission of special information is also provided. A time-division multiplex signal that is redundantly coded is formed. A reception section contains corresponding, inverse devices for recovering the original data signals.
