Abstract: A rack within a datacenter or other environment can include a plurality of appliances arranged in the rack such that ports of the appliances are aligned vertically or in another direction. A cartridge can include an elongate rigid body along which connectors are arranged. The connectors may be engageable with the aligned ports of the appliances in response to translation of the cartridge toward the rack. The cartridge can include cabling within the elongate rigid body, and the cabling can provide paths among subsets of the connectors, for example, such that subsets of the appliances are accordingly connected for transmission of data or other signals.

Abstract: A cage assembly may define a part of a computing appliance. The assembly can include a cage formed by walls and defining a continuous interior volume bounded by a top face, a bottom face, a right face, a left face, a front face, and a rear face. A first edge connector may be within a leftward portion of the interior volume. A second edge connector may be within a rightward portion of the interior volume and positioned laterally from the first edge connector. The arrangement may permit engagement with multiple individual-width plugs (e.g., each bearing an individual paddle card) or a single plug (e.g., bearing multiple paddle cards spaced laterally from one another and aligned for engagement with the first and second edge connectors within the cage).
