Abstract
A device including two modules is provided for transferring data signals from a first transmission medium to a second transmission medium. One module includes a conductive housing having a first end and a second end. An electrical connector is mounted at the first end of the housing and is configured to mate to a corresponding connector associated with the first transmission medium. The housing includes a flexible metallic shielded cable extending from the second end. The remote end of the shielded cable is connected to the second module which is configured to mate to a corresponding connector associated with the second transmission medium. The device is pluggable into two system hosts, simultaneously. The modules are each hot pluggable. The device acts as a serial patch cord between the two system hosts, with a standard form factor module plugged into the system hosts at either end.
