Modular networking device connection system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a modular networking system chassis that defines a modular networking system housing;
• an internal wall that is located in the modular networking system housing and that includes a internal wall connector;
• a modular networking device that is located in the modular networking system housing and connected to the internal wall connector;
• and
• a networking processing device that is located in the modular networking system housing opposite the internal wall from the modular networking device, wherein the networking processing device includes:
• a networking processing device board;
• a networking processor that is mounted to the networking processing device board;
• and
• a networking processing device connector that is mounted to the networking processing device board and coupled to the networking processor through the networking processing device board, wherein the networking processing device connector is directly connected to the internal wall connector by a first cable that transmits signals received from the modular networking device and through the internal wall connector directly to the networking processing device connector for provision to the networking processor via the networking processing device board.

A method for providing modular networking devices in a modular networking system, comprising:

• receiving a modular networking device in a modular networking device slot that is part of a modular networking system housing defined be a modular networking system chassis;
• connecting an internal wall connector on an internal wall that is located in the modular networking system housing to a modular networking device internal connector on the modular networking device;
• receiving, by the internal wall connector from the modular networking device internal connector, signals transmitted through the modular networking device;
• transmitting the signals through a first cable that directly connects the internal wall connector to a networking processing device connector that is mounted to a networking processing device board that includes a networking processor;
• and
• providing the signals from the networking processing device connector to the networking processor via the networking processing device board.
