  • Patent number: 12207403
    Abstract: Two QSFP-DD transceivers' footprints are placed on the opposite sides of a PCB board. The two footprints are aligned in a special way and the connections among the pads of the two footprints are also specially defined. Based on that, the pads of the two footprints are connected through PCB traces and VIA. Two QSFP-DD electrical connectors are soldered onto the two footprints. So the high-speed signals from two QSFP-DD transceivers are directly connected in the shortest way when the two transceivers are plugged into the two QSFP-DD connectors.
