Abstract
A card cage that includes a top plane and a bottom plane and a card for use with the card cage. The card cage may operate in a variety of settings including a redundancy scheme and a load sharing scheme. The top plane and bottom plane, which replace the back plane that appears in a traditional card cage, are able to simultaneously receive a card (or cards). The top plane and bottom plane include connectors which may be coupled with other connectors on the top side and bottom side of the card to secure the card in the card cage.
