ABSTRACT:
A computer backplane data path which connects computer backplane modules in a backplane structure. A T-ring made up of T-sections form a ring-like topology, wherein one T-section initiates from each computer backplane module and passively connects other computer backplane modules. At the end of the backplane structure each T-section folds back to continue connecting previously unconnected modules in a continuous loop process, until all modules have been connected with the desired number of T-sections. A plurality of A-paths, one per computer backplane module, so that each connecting T-section of the T-ring forms an active-passive, unidirectional data ring.
