An apparatus for interconnecting devices in a network comprises a connection interface with a first face and a second face opposite the first face. The apparatus includes a first 2D array of first connection points arranged on the first face of the connection interface. Each first connection point in each column of the first 2D array connects to a different host device from among a plurality of host devices, and each first connection point in each row of the first 2D array connects to a single host device from among the plurality of host devices. A second 2D array of second connection points is arranged on the second face of the connection interface. Each second connection point is connected to a respective first connection point, each second connection point in each column of the second 2D array connects to a single network switch from among a plurality of network switches, and each second connection point in each row of the second 2D array connects to a different network switch from among the plurality of network switches.
