A switch fabric that carries analog differential signals is constructed from 2x2 switches. Each 2x2 switch has two differential inputs that are applied to two demultiplexers. Each 2x2 switch also has two differential outputs, each driven by an equalizing mux. Each demultiplexer has two amplifiers that drive intermediate differential signals to the two equalizing muxes. Each equalizing mux has two equalizers that receive the intermediate differential signals from the two demultiplexers. A select signal enables one equalizer but disables the other to select one of the two intermediate differential inputs. A combining amplifier receives differential outputs from both equalizers and generates a final differential output. R, C values in each equalizer can be adjusted to compensate for loading variations in the intermediate differential signals which can have different physical lengths in a switch fabric.
