Patent attributes
An example modular backplane device that transforms signals is described. The example disclosed herein comprises a plurality of interface connectors evenly distributed on a first side of a housing of the modular backplane to transfer a plurality of first signals. The example further comprises one or more aggregation point connectors on an edge of the first side of the housing of the modular backplane to transfer data, transfer management information, and receive electrical power. The modular backplane device example also comprises a logic board coupled to the plurality of interface connectors and to the one or more aggregation point connectors. The logic board is to transform signals and comprises signal transformation logic and a management processor.
