Abstract
An electronic system having a backplane designed for efficient routing of signal traces. The system includes two or more daughter cards that are connected to multiple other daughter cards in the system. These daughter cards are mounted centrally to the backplane in the system. Connections between those two daughter cards and the backplane are made through electrical connectors that are distributed in columns along the length of the daughter cards. The connectors are positioned with space between the connectors. The space forms routing channels such that signals that must be connected to the central cards from a daughter cards on either side may be routed through the routing channels.
