Instrumentation chassis with high speed bridge board

Abstract:

An instrumentation chassis includes a backplane, multiple peripheral slots located on the backplane and configured to receive insertable peripheral modules, respectively, and at least one protocol agnostic high speed connection mounted on, but not electrically connected to the backplane. The high speed connection is configured to interconnect at least two peripheral modules in corresponding peripheral slots of the multiple peripheral slots, bypassing the backplane.
