  • Computer networking interconnectors
    Patent number: 10524379
    Abstract: A system is provided for computer networking. The system includes a first frame installed in a rack. The first frame includes a first frame shuffle that interconnects resource modules within the first frame and a first rocker-arm plenum that interconnects resource modules of the first frame with resource modules of other frames of the rack through a high-bandwidth fabric. The system also includes a second frame installed in the rack. The second frame includes a second frame shuffle that interconnects resource modules within the second frame and a second rocker-arm plenum communicatively coupled to the first rocker-arm plenum, wherein the second rocker-arm plenum interconnects resource modules of the second frame with resource modules of other frames of the rack through the high-bandwidth fabric. The system further includes a frame bridge. The frame bridge includes a first bracket slidably connected to a second bracket.
