Bus or switching matrix that resides within a switch or hub chassis; all traffic crosses the backplane at least once.
An interconnecting board that typically has sockets that cards plug into.
The medium used to interconnect a number of circuit boards. Typically refers to a special, heavy-duty printed or discrete wired circuit board.
The assembly containing the connectors for the Multiport Switching Unit (MSU3) cards and other system assemblies. Cards plug into both the front and back sides of the backplane, and for this reason, the backplane is also referred to as the midplane. The backplane distributes traffic among all MSU3 cards in the system.
a circuit board containing sockets into which other circuit boards or expansion cards can be inserted
a physical board that is typically integrated to the backend of an enclosure
a printed circuit board with many conducting paths, called "traces" or "tracks
Another name in high-end applications for motherboard. The backbone of a "bus" system serving as a contact plane for signal and power lines. Multi-layer construction.
a wiring board, usually constructed as a printed circuit, used to provide the required connections between logic, memory and I/O modules.
A printed circuit board at the rear of the Cisco 6200 chassis that provides internal busing to distribute data, clocking, and power among the various modules.
A backplane is an electronic circuit board containing circuitry and sockets into which additional electronic devices on other circuit boards or cards can be plugged; in a computer, generally synonymous with or part of the motherboard.
As opposed to standard cabling schemes where flexible wires are used, a backplane refers to a rigid circuit board that will support higher connection speeds and more logic. For example, many SCSI systems today ship with small SCSI backplanes because the transfer rate of SCSI is getting high enough that standard cables are causing problems connecting devices. Backplanes can offer more features than a standard cable such as the ability to unplug drives without shutting the system down. Another example of a backplane is in network connection devices, such as large enterprise scale switches and routers. Some of them have a high-speed backplane, and you can plug a group of slower network connection devices into the high-speed backplane.
Area of a computer or other device where various logic and control elements are interconnected. Often a printed circuit board into which other circuit boards plug at right angles.
The back side of a chassis of a PLC rack that provides electrical interconnection between the module and the chassis.
A system bus residing on the motherboard of a card cage that connects to a series of connectors. Cards access the system bus by plugging into these connectors
A printed circuit board in an electronics device with sockets into which other circuit boards can be plugged. In most PCs, the backplane is the large board that contains the ISA, PCI and other sockets for modem, video, sound and other expansion cards. Sometimes used synonymously with "motherboard".
A backplane is an electronic circuit board containing circuitry and sockets into which additional electronic devices on other circuit boards or cards may be plugged. Typically a backplane has PCI, cPCI, ISA or VME bus slots.
The physical area, usually at the back of the device, where boards and cables plug into electronic equipment
The high-speed communications bus which individual components, especially slide-in cards, are connected. The backplane's capacity determines the overall capacity of the device.
A printed circuit board containing slots or sockets, into which expansion boards are plugged. ... more
Physical connection between an interface processor or card and the data buses and power distribution buses inside a Cisco chassis.
A printed circuit board in a hub that contains slots for plugging in modules and provides the physical connection for the network interface.
A motherboard. Originally the term describes a main circuit board mounted vertically at the rear of the case. መሸኩዕ View
A backplane is a circuit board (usually a printed circuit board) that connects several connectors in parallel to each other, so that each pin of each connector is linked to the same relative pin of all the other connectors, forming a computer bus. It is used as a backbone to connect several printed circuit board cards together to make up a complete computer system. One popular early computer system that used this approach was called the S-100 bus because the connectors used had one hundred pins.
