Abstract
A dual connect switch module may include a first set of pluggable panel connectors on a first side of a substrate of the switch and a second set of pluggable panel connectors on an opposing second side of the substrate. The switch module further includes a switch Integrated Circuit (IC) mounted between the first side and the second side, where the switch IC is connected to the first set of pluggable panel connectors and to the second set of pluggable panel connectors. A cable can be used to connect at least one pluggable panel connector of the first set of pluggable panel connectors and/or of the second set of pluggable panel connectors with a port of an external network device. In some examples, the switch and substrate may further include a management module that manages one or more on-board functions of the switch module.
