Abstract:
1. An electronic system, comprising: an enclosure; a substrate within the enclosure, the substrate being substantially planar and having a first side and a second side, the first and second sides being opposite each other; a plurality of first connectors attached to the first side of the substrate and adapted for receiving a plurality of circuit card assemblies arranged side-by-side in an orientation that is substantially parallel to a first plane; and at least one second connector attached to the second side of the substrate and adapted for receiving one or more circuit card assemblies having an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the first plane, wherein at least one of the plurality of first connectors is aligned back-to-back with the at least one second connector so that each electrical contact provided in that at least one first connector is interconnected with a corresponding electrical contact in that at least one second connector via a substantially straight path through the substrate.
