A networking device including at least two asymmetric communication ports. at least one of the asymmetric communication ports is a self-configurable asymmetric port and the self-configurable asymmetric port is configured automatically and able to support high throughput communications. Also disclosed a switch supporting uncompressed video comprising self-configurable asymmetric ports. The switch configured to automatically set the self-configurable asymmetric ports to support direction of communication of asymmetric end-devices coupled to the self-configurable asymmetric ports.
