Over the last several decades, the increasing data traffic in telecom, datacom, and high-performance computing has led to multi-gigabytes-per-second data transmission speeds in multiservice switches (MSSs), such as core routers and cross-connect switches [1]. A particularly challenging problem in this regard is the transmission of high-speed electrical data through the backplane in MSSs due to the high attenuation of current backplane materials and the limited bandwidth of backplane connectors [2].
