Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a dynamic data interconnect and networking cable configuration. The dynamic data interconnect includes a substrate, transmitters supported on the substrate configured to generate signals, and receivers supported on the substrate configured to receive signals. The dynamic data interconnect further includes a number of connection pads that receive data cables attached thereto and a number of transmission lanes that operably couple the transmitters and receivers to the connection pads. The dynamic data interconnect further includes transmission circuitry in communication with each of the transmitters and receivers such that, in an operational configuration, the transmission circuitry determines a transmission state of the dynamic data interconnect and selectively disables operation of at least a portion of the transmitters or at least a portion of the receivers.

Abstract: Various embodiments of silicon photonic (SiP) chips are provided that are configured for backside or frontside optical fiber coupling. An SiP chip includes a photonic integrated circuit formed on a first surface of a first substrate. The photonic integrated circuit includes at least one optical component and at least one coupling element. The at least one optical component is configured to propagate an optical signal therethrough in a waveguide propagation direction that is substantially parallel to a plane defined by the first surface. The at least one coupling element is configured to couple an optical signal propagating along an optical path transverse to the waveguide propagation direction into the at least one optical component to enable the backside or frontside coupling of an optical fiber to the SiP chip.

Abstract: A Network-Connected Device (NCD) includes a network interface, a host interface, an NCD memory and an NCD processor. The network interface is configured for communicating over a network. The host interface is configured for communicating with a host. The NCD memory is configured to buffer packet information that originates from the host and pertains to a packet to be transmitted to the network at a specified transmission time. The NCD processor is configured to process the buffered packet information before the specified transmission time, and to transmit the packet to the network at the specified time. Processing of the packet information and transmission of the packet are decoupled from buffering of the packet information.
