Abstract
In an embodiment, a system includes a first group of connectors, a second group of connectors, and an interconnection enclosure. Each single connector in the first group provides an interface for a corresponding group of component signal paths. Each single connector in the second group provides an interface for at least one component signal path from each of the corresponding group of component signal paths of each connector in the first group of connectors. The enclosure houses at least a portion of the groups of component signal paths connecting the first group with the second group. The system is configured to provide an interconnection between network switches. In an embodiment, a system includes a network component rack and a panel coupled to the network component rack and configured to receive an interconnection module having the first group of connectors, second group of connectors, and an interconnection enclosure.
