ABSTRACT:
An interconnection system for an electronic equipment rack containing a plurality of electronic equipment units mounted in drawers or slides slidably mounted in spaced parallel relationship on the rack. The system includes a rigid backplane panel for mounting across one wall of the rack and a plurality of spaced parallel conductors extending across the panel in a direction transverse to the equipment units. A plurality of mating connector assemblies are provided for signal communication between the electronic equipment units and the backplane conductors, and are mounted to extend transversely to the backplane conductors in alignment with the equipment units. The mating connector assembly is connected to the aligned equipment unit and includes signal conditioning devices for predetermined conditioning of electrical signals in the system, and conductors for connecting the signal conditioning devices to preselected ones of the backplane conductors. The electronic equipment unit and mating connector assembly can be removed from the rack as a unit for replacement.
