Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
controlling a switching network, including causing the switching network to open and close a plurality of parallel switching devices, wherein each parallel switching device of the plurality of parallel switching devices is coupled to a respective pin of a data interconnect receptacle, further wherein controlling the switching network includes:
closing a first switching device of the plurality of parallel switching devices, including creating a first conductive path between a first pin of the data interconnect receptacle and a voltage measuring device; and
closing a second switching device of the plurality of parallel switching devices, including creating a second conductive path between a second pin of the data interconnect receptacle and the voltage measuring device;
determining a presence of liquid between the first pin and a power source based on measuring a voltage created by closing the first switching device; and
performing an action in response to determining the presence of liquid.
