Abstract
A method, system and device are disclosed for compensating or tuning one or more communication pathways between an external network and an information handling system. In one aspect, one or more inductive devices may be coupled to one or more transmission lines coupling a physical layer transceiver (PHY) to one of a plurality of external network communication ports via a board-mounted communication switch. Selection and placement, such as serial placement, of the one or more inductive devices depends, at least in part, upon one or more electrical characteristics of the transmission lines, the PHY, the communication switch and requirements of the external network.
