A network router employs a single board architecture that includes both a forwarding engine and an interface card concentrator. All of the circuits involved in routing are incorporated into a single board, reducing the system cost of the router. A single processor performs various functions in connection with these circuits, such as management of interface cards and the forwarding engine. In addition to lowering the system cost, the compact architecture allows higher density installation of interface cards.

A system prevents disruption of one or more system buses. The system monitors communication on the one or more system buses during an input mode and an output mode and detects changes between the input mode and the output mode. The system determines whether a predetermined time period has elapsed after a change from the input mode to the output mode and changes from the output mode to the input mode when the predetermined time period has elapsed after a change from the input mode to the output mode.

A signal conductor includes first and second connectors connected to the ends of a cable. The second connector includes a signal processing element that processes signals transmitted between the first and second connectors. In another implementation consistent with the principles of the invention, the signal processing element is located in a patch panel connected to the signal conductor.
