Abstract: A connection assembly (100) includes a base structure (110); a backplane (120) coupled to the base structure (110), the backplane (120) including a first circuit board (122); and a tray module (140) configured to couple to the backplane (120). The tray module (140) includes a tray body (160) including a second circuit board (162); and a bridge member (150) to which the tray body (160) is moveably coupled. The tray body (160) moves relative to the backplane (120) while the bridge member (150) remains stationary relative to the backplane (120). Managed connectivity components (250) on the second circuit board (162) remain connected to the first circuit board (122) even while the tray body (160) is pivoting relative to the backplane (120).

Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a tray for use in a subrack of a rack. The tray comprises a printed circuit board configured so that a plurality of connections can be made at a plurality of positions on the printed circuit board, each of the plurality of connections involving at least one connector positioned on a patch side of the plurality of positions and the least one connector having a device associated therewith in which information is stored. The tray is configured so that either side of the positions can be used as the patch side. The tray is configured so that the devices associated with the connectors involved in making the connections at the patch side can be read via the tray. The devices associated with the connections can be implemented, for example, using RFID tags or connection point identifier (CPID) storage devices (such as EEPROMs).
