Field-reconfigurable backplane system |
摘要 |
In a circuit card chassis, a backplane system includes card guides that are slideable on rails to provide any selected spacing between adjacent circuit cards. A backplane connector assembly extends between each pair of slideable top and bottom card guides. Signal cables can be configured to connect any two backplane connector assemblies to each other. |

1. A backplane system, comprising:
a chassis defined by a width axis, a depth axis and a height axis; a plurality of rails oriented parallel to the width axis; a plurality of card guides oriented parallel to the depth axis, each card guide having a slot configured to receive a printed circuit card, each card guide extending between a front rail of the plurality of rails and a rear rail of the plurality of rails, each card guide having a front portion slideably engaged with the front rail and slideable in a direction of the width axis and having a rear portion slideably engaged with the rear rail and slideable in the direction of the width axis; a plurality of backplane connector assemblies, each backplane connector assembly attached to the rear portion of a corresponding one of the plurality of card guides and oriented parallel to the height axis, each backplane connector assembly configured to mate with a card connector of the printed circuit card received in the corresponding one of the plurality of card guides; and a plurality of signal cables, each signal cable connectable between one of the plurality of backplane connector assemblies and another of the plurality of backplane connector assemblies. |
