Abstract:
1. A modular connector infrastructure comprising: device connector modules having optical connectors to optically connect to respective subsets of electronic devices in a system; and a first interconnecting connector module to optically interconnect the device connector modules, the first interconnecting connector module extending across the device connector modules and optically connected to each of the device connector modules; a second interconnecting connector module to optically interconnect the device connector modules, the second interconnecting connector module extending across the device connector modules and optically connected to each of the device connector modules, the first and second interconnecting connector modules being redundant interconnecting connector modules, wherein continued communications between the electronic devices is allowed through one of the first and second interconnecting connector modules when another of the first and second interconnecting connector modules is removed or has failed, wherein the device connector modules are removably connected to the electronic devices, and the first and second interconnecting connector modules are removably connected to the device connector modules.
