Abstract: A dual connect switch module may include a first set of pluggable panel connectors on a first side of a substrate of the switch and a second set of pluggable panel connectors on an opposing second side of the substrate. The switch module further includes a switch Integrated Circuit (IC) mounted between the first side and the second side, where the switch IC is connected to the first set of pluggable panel connectors and to the second set of pluggable panel connectors. A cable can be used to connect at least one pluggable panel connector of the first set of pluggable panel connectors and/or of the second set of pluggable panel connectors with a port of an external network device. In some examples, the switch and substrate may further include a management module that manages one or more on-board functions of the switch module.

Abstract: A network device includes a plurality of ports, a plurality of optical indicators, two or more packet processing circuits, and synchronization circuitry. The two or more packet processing circuits are to process packets communicated over the ports, each packet processing circuit to control a subset of the optical indicators to display status information relating to a subset of the ports. At least some of the status information is represented by blinking of the optical indicators. The synchronization circuitry is to synchronize at least one operational characteristic of the optical indicators among the two or more packet processing circuits.

Abstract: A cable pillar is provided for use in a switch system. The cable pillar includes a cavity that enables a plurality of cables to pass from a first side to a second side of the cable pillar. For example, the cables may be routed from sets of access paths located in rails mounted on the sides of the cable pillar to enlarged access paths located near the top or bottom of the cable pillar. The enlarged access paths may be sized to receive every cable that passes through a set of access paths located on an opposing side of the cable pillar from a corresponding enlarged access path. Additionally, the cable pillar may be configured to releasably attach to a chassis of the switch system. In some examples, the plurality of cables accommodated by the cable pillar may serve as a cable backplane of the switch system.

Abstract: A system for connecting cage-side connectors to PCB-side connectors. The system enables OSFP and QSFP pluggable modules to be connected to breakouts on PCBs within a networking device. The system includes one or more cage-side connectors connected via one or more cables to one or more PCB-side connectors. Keyed PCB-side connectors and unique lengths of cables ensure proper connections to headers on a PCB.
