Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for reducing connection interference within and across adjacent interfaces are provided. An interface includes ports arranged along at least a first axis and second axis. The ports on the first axis are offset from the ports on the second axis. When two interfaces are provided adjacent to each other, the ports on the last axis of the first circuit board are offset from the ports on the first axis of the second circuit board.
Claims9
An interface for reducing connection interference, comprising:
- a first set of one or more ports arranged along a first axis wherein the first axis extends along the interface in a lengthwise direction;
- and
- a second set of one or more ports arranged along a second axis wherein the second axis extends along the interface in the lengthwise direction and is parallel to the first axis;
- wherein the first set of ports on the first axis are offset in the lengthwise direction from the second set of ports on the second axis.

A method for reducing connection interference, the method comprising:
- providing a first interface including one or more ports arranged along each of a plurality of parallel axes extending along the first interface in a lengthwise direction;
- and
- providing a second interface adjacent to the first interface wherein the second interface includes one or more ports arranged along each of a plurality of parallel axes extending along the second interface in a lengthwise direction;
- wherein the ports on the last axis of the first interface are offset in the lengthwise direction from the ports on the first axis of the second interface.
