Abstract

A connectivity device permits simplified connections for realizing complex networking topologies using lower cost components. The device can be optically passive, or can have an active aspect to control switching to realize additional topology related features. The device permits cabling to be simplified while reducing cost to permit implementations of complex networking topologies to be realized faster and with greater reliability. The device aids in scaling out a network implementation and can provide connectivity for an arbitrary number of nodes with efficient capacity usage.
