[TriEmbed] I2C range extension

[Grawburg]

Since human hands must still plug/unplug RJ-type connectors there is a practical limitation as to how small they can be.  I'd hate to have to use a pair of tweezers and a magnifying head piece to plug my ethernet cable into a Pi or my desktop.  Size does matter. And, the older I get the less dexterity I have.

 One thing that bothers the heck out of me is if you look at the Pi, What is the largest component on the device? The GIANT RJ45 connector. How in this world where every thing has shrunk have we (as in the technical community) allowed this gross misuse of size with only a few wires be soooooo large?


Why haven't we shrunk the ethernet connectors like everything else?
