Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a networking card arrangement with increased thermal performance. An example arrangement includes a primary network card that defines a first card-to-board connection and a networking chipset supported by the primary network card. The arrangement also includes an auxiliary network card that defines a second card-to-board connection and networking cable connectors supported by the auxiliary network card that receive networking cables therein. The arrangement further includes a card connection element that operably connects the primary network card and the auxiliary network card. In an operational configuration in which the primary network card and the auxiliary network card are received by a server board via the first card-to-board connection and the second card-to-board connection, the primary network card is spaced from the auxiliary network card such that air may pass therebetween.

Networking cards with increased performance

Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a retention clip for securing a cable connection to a printed circuit board (PCB). An example retention clip includes a bottom support member, a top support member, and a hinge element attached to the top support member and the bottom support member. The hinge element allows movement of the retention clip between a locked position and an unlocked position. The retention clip further defines an opening configured to receive one or more cable connections therethrough. In the locked position, the top support member is folded about the hinge element so as to engage the bottom support member and secure the cable connection disposed within the opening to the PCB.

Networking cards with increased thermal performance

Electronic apparatus includes a laminated multi-layer circuit substrate, including first and second rigid cards and a flexible section between the first and second rigid cards. First and second sets of electrical terminals are disposed respectively on the first and second rigid cards and arranged to mate with respective bus connectors configured in accordance with a predefined bus standard. At least one bus interface circuit is configured to communicate over a bus in accordance with the predefined bus standard and disposed on the first rigid card. Printed conductors run continuously from the first rigid card, over the flexible section of the substrate, to the second rigid card and connect the at least one bus interface circuit on the first rigid card to the second set of electrical terminals on the second rigid card.
