Not sure what the IP is that S7 has for transmitting data over copper, but if it was a robust IP, it may create a pretty good barrier for entry for others.

"The chip technology recovers this (signal) loss through equalization settings to produce compliant cables.
This works by sending high frequency data around the cable and measuring data edges with pico second accuracy."
"The chip in the Redmere smart cable acts independently on each channel, providing just the right amount of boost to each channel to restore the signal to its original state."
I believe this technology is a propriatary algorithm that is applied to every different cable type, which is then tested over time and then additional pattens are filed to protect each cable type
I am guessing that each cable type can be adjusted pin by pin and customised for maximum throughput accuracy.
For gauge changer plus it appears that some silicon has been added that automatically reads each channel and then automatically burn the readings into memory.
I am just an investor here who is trying to understand what technically is happening here.
If there is anyone on this board who can correct me or add to our understanding please do so.
