Abstract

A modular packet network device uses bus bars to transfer primary power to either a backplane or directly to one or more cards that perform primary-to-logic-power conversion. The bus bars are fabricated in packages that reduce the transfer of differential and common-mode noise existing in the device chassis into the power delivery system through the bus bars. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
