A pluggable transceiver is provided for achieving a redundant connection in a communication network when inserted in a communication network node of the communication network. The pluggable transceiver is connected to a first cable on a first input and is directly connected to two or more data-plane ports when inserted. The pluggable transceiver comprises a converter to receive incoming data in a first representation and convert the incoming data from the first representation into a second representation, and a distributor to distribute the incoming data to a first data-plane port among the two or more data-plane ports in the second representation. The pluggable transceiver comprises a first selector to select the first data-plane port and receive outgoing data from the first data-plane port in the second representation, where the first data-plane port is active.

Method and arrangement for providing data plane redundancy

An interface circuit between a four wire line and a two wire line includes correlator and control circuit means connected for receiving a longitudinal signal (V.sub.1) and a transversal signal (V.sub.t) corresponding to a differential signal received on the terminals of a two wire interface from the two wire line. The correlator and control circuit includes a circuit for creating a correction signals being a measure of the correlation between the longitudinal signal and the transversal signal. The circuit for creating the correction signal is connected for using this correction signal to adaptively control the amplifications in feed back loops so as to minimize the correlation between the longitudinal and transversal signals.
