    摘要: Apparatus and methods for cableless connection of components within chassis and between separate chassis. Pairs of Extremely High Frequency (EHF) transceiver chips supporting very short length millimeter-wave wireless communication links are configured to pass radio frequency signals through holes in one or more metal layers in separate chassis and/or frames, enabling components in the separate chassis to communicate without requiring cables between the chassis. Various configurations are disclosed, including multiple configurations for server chassis, storage chassis and arrays, and network/switch chassis. The EHF-based wireless links support link bandwidths of up to 6 gigabits per second, and may be aggregated to facilitate multi-lane links.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for rack level pre-installed interconnect for enabling cableless server, storage, and networking deployment. Plastic cable waveguides are configured to couple millimeter-wave radio frequency (RF) signals between two or more Extremely High Frequency (EHF) transceiver chips, thus supporting millimeter-wave wireless communication links enabling components in the separate chassis to communicate without requiring wire or optical cables between the chassis. Various configurations are disclosed, including multiple configurations for server chassis, storage chassis and arrays, and network/switch chassis. A plurality of plastic cable waveguide may be coupled to applicable support/mounting members, which in turn are mounted to a rack and/or top-of-rack switches. This enables the plastic cable waveguides to be pre-installed at the rack level, and further enables racks to be installed and replaced without requiring further cabling for the supported communication links. The communication links support link bandwidths of up to 6 gigabits per second, and may be aggregated to facilitate multi-lane links.
