This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
Please do not alter it unless you are certain to understand its setup and parser functions and are ready to repair/revert all collateral damage if results are unexpected.
Any experiments should be conducted and all improvements tested in either the template sandbox or your user space before applying anything here.

This template is for computer busses. You could probably also use it for network hardware systems such as Ethernet, although a separate infobox for networks might be a better idea. For generic hardware components, see Template:Infobox Computer Hardware Generic.
