Claims20
An interconnect assembly, comprising:
- a first signal connector;
- a second signal connector;
- a combination connector coupled to the first signal connector and the second signal connector;
- and
- a power bus coupled to the combination connector to supply power to the combination connector;
- wherein the combination connector isolates the power bus from the first signal connector and the second signal connector so that power from the power bus does not reach the first signal connector and the second signal connector.
A system, comprising:
- a first signal connector to transceive a first plurality of signals;
- a second signal connector to transceive a second plurality of signals;
- combination connector coupled to the first plurality of signals and the second plurality of signals;
- a plurality of power cables coupled to the combination connector to supply power to the combination connector;
- and
- a backplane including a first storage device connector and a backplane connector coupled to the combination connector to convey the first plurality of signals and the power supplied by the plurality of power cables to the first storage device connector.
An interconnect assembly, comprising:
- a first cable assembly;
- a second cable assembly;
- a combination connector coupled to the first cable assembly and the second cable assembly;
- and
- a power bus coupled to the combination connector to supply power to the combination connector;
- wherein the combination connector isolates the power bus from the first cable assembly and the second cable assembly so that power from the power bus does not reach the first cable assembly and the second cable assembly.
