A system and method for maintaining an uninterrupted data flow in a communications network includes a transmitter, which transmits the data flow from a data source and a receiver, which receives the data flow. A channel interconnects the transmitter and the receiver, and communicates the data flow between the transmitter and the receiver. A switch is located in the channel between the transmitter and the receiver. The switch is openable for a period of time, which is sufficient to permit analysis of signal impairment in the channel without interrupting the data flow. |
