A cable backplane system includes cable backplanes each including a tray configured to be coupled to a chassis and a plurality of cable connector assemblies mounted to the tray. The tray has a plate extending between a front and a rear with mounting locations receiving corresponding cable connector assemblies. The trays are oriented parallel to each other with front openings between the fronts of the plates and rear openings between the rears of the plates. Each cable connector assembly has a housing holding contacts terminated to corresponding cables. Each cable connector assembly has a holder mounted to the corresponding mounting location of the plate. The holder is mounted to the plate and removable from the plate through the rear opening at the rear of the plate.

Disclosed is a heat dissipation subrack, including a cabinet body defining an accommodating space. The cabinet body defines an air inlet, two air supplementing openings, and an air outlet. The accommodating space has an air inlet region, and a heat source region communicatively coupled to the air inlet region. An opening direction of the air inlet and an opening direction of each of the air supplementing openings intersect in the air inlet region. The cabinet body includes multiple baffles, each of the baffles includes two wind shielding surfaces, and airflow passages are defined between each two adjacent baffles and between one of inner walls of the cabinet body and an baffle adjacent to the one of the inner walls of the cabinet body.

A storage system includes N horizontal backplanes and a first mirror backplane. Each horizontal backplane includes a first controller and a second controller on a same plane. The N first controllers and the N second controllers of the storage system form a first column and a second column in a vertical direction. The first mirror backplane is perpendicular to the horizontal backplanes, a first side of the first mirror backplane is connected to the horizontal backplanes, and a second side is connected to the controllers. A second side of the first controller has N second mirror ports and N second heartbeat ports, and a first side of the second controller has N first mirror ports and N first heartbeat ports. Wiring on the first mirror backplane includes wiring that interconnects the first mirror port of the second controller to the second mirror port of the first controller.

A connector brick for a cable communication system includes a header frame including end spacers and side spacers defining a header opening. The header frame is configured for mating with a circuit card. A plurality of cable connectors are received in the header opening and connected to the header frame. Each cable connector has cables extending therefrom. Each cable connector has a header holding signal contacts at a mating end of the header and configured for mating with a corresponding card connector of the circuit card. Float mechanisms extend from the header frame. The float mechanisms allow limited movement in at least two directions of the header frame. The float mechanisms allow alignment of the header frame with the circuit card. The cable connectors float with the header frame as a unit for mating with the corresponding card connectors.

A backshell includes upper and lower shells defining a cavity. The upper shell includes a top wall and a side wall and the lower shell includes a bottom wall and a side wall. An actuator is coupled to the shells to change the relative positions of the shells between an open position and a closed position. A top of the lower shell engages a bottom of the upper shell in the closed position. The actuator is operable to move at least one of the upper shell and the lower shell such that the top of the lower shell is spaced-apart from the bottom of the upper shell in the open position, thereby increasing a size of the cavity to allow insertion and removal of the electrical connector into or out of the cavity in the open position.

A cable backplane system includes cable backplanes each including a tray configured to be coupled to a chassis and a plurality of cable connector assemblies mounted to the tray. The tray has a plate extending between a front and a rear with mounting locations receiving corresponding cable connector assemblies. The trays are oriented parallel to each other with front openings between the fronts of the plates and rear openings between the rears of the plates. Each cable connector assembly has a housing holding contacts terminated to corresponding cables. Each cable connector assembly has a holder mounted to the corresponding mounting location of the plate. The holder is mounted to the plate and removable from the plate through the rear opening at the rear of the plate.

A connector panel for plug-in units in a telecommunication system, the telecommunication system including a sub-rack or shelf having a backplane for power supply of a number of N plug-in units within the shelf and for enabling the N plug-in units within the shelf to communicate with each other; wherein the connector panel is an entity separate from the backplane and includes a number of m connectors providing an interface between n dedicated plug-in units among the N plug-in units within the shelf, with 2≦n<N and m≧n; and wherein the connector panel is configured to be removably attached at an interior wall of the shelf.

A patch on interposer (PoINT) package is described with a wireless communications interface. Some examples include an interposer, a main patch attached to the interposer, a main integrated circuit die attached to the patch, a second patch attached to the interposer, and a millimeter wave radio die attached to the second patch and coupled to the main integrated circuit die through the interposer to communicate data between the main die and an external component.
