Claim 0:
1. A dynamic data interconnect comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of transmitters supported on the substrate, wherein the transmitters are configured to generate signals;
a plurality of receivers supported on the substrate, wherein the receivers are configured to receive signals;
a plurality of connection pads configured to receive data cables attached thereto;
a plurality of transmission lanes configured to operably couple the transmitters and receivers to the connection pads such that signals generated by the plurality of transmitters are directed via the transmission lanes to the data cables and signals received via the data cables are directed by the transmission lanes to the receivers; and
transmission circuitry in communication with each of the plurality of transmitters and receivers and configured to control operation thereof,
wherein, in an operational configuration, the transmission circuitry is configured to determine that a transmission state of the dynamic data interconnect is a source state and selectively disable operation of each of the plurality of the receivers other than a first receiver.
