Abstract
A circuit board has a transmission line. A connector is coupled to the circuit board and electrically coupled to the transmission line. Bus termination circuitry is electrically coupled to the transmission line at or near an end of the transmission line at the connector such that the transmission line is terminated by the bus termination circuitry when the connector is not engaged to support any device for electrical coupling to the transmission line.
