ABSTRACT:
A network device uses a multiple component connector plane to interconnect functional cards within the network device. Each of the components of the connector plane may be configured to contain a subset of the total interconnectivity of the connector plane and, optionally, to interconnect one or more subsets of the functional cards in the network device. The reduced connectivity of each component enables each component to be made in a less complex fashion. Using printed circuit board technology, this reduction in complexity enables lower layer count boards to be used to form the connector plane, resulting in lower overall costs. The connector plane may be a mid-plane or a back-plane.
