Abstract: A flexible cross-connect with a data plane is presented which allows the establishment of connections between network interfaces at any network interface card to another network interface on any other network interface card. The system can cross-connect connections at an STS-1 and VT 1.5 granularity, and allows the switching and routing of information in a data plane without the use of the cross connect fabric. This permits routing, bridging, and concentration of data services to be performed without burdening of the cross connect. For reliability, a range of protection configurations can be employed including 1:1, 1:5 and mixed 1:N protection. A backplane is used which provides point-to-point traces between each card and the cross connect unit, between each card and a timing, communications and control unit, and between the network interface cards themselves.

Abstract translation: 提出了与数据平面的灵活交叉连接，允许在任何网络接口卡的网络接口之间建立与任何其他网络接口卡上的另一个网络接口的连接。 系统可以以STS-1和VT 1.5粒度交叉连接连接，并允许在数据平面中切换和路由信息而不使用交叉连接结构。 这样可以实现数据业务的路由，桥接和集中，而不会对交叉连接造成负担。 为了可靠性，可以采用一系列保护配置，包括1：1，1：5和1：N混合保护。 使用背板，其提供每个卡和交叉连接单元之间，每个卡与定时，通信和控制单元之间以及网络接口卡本身之间的点对点迹线。

Abstract: A system and method for converting the numerous quantities, types, and arrangements of plug-in card connectors, usually disposed on the backplane of equipment systems, to an orderly and standardized array of external connectors. The external connectors facilitate the electrical connection between the cards and one of a variety of specific external cable connectors.
