Modular interface panel for server communication connections
The patent US12075589B2 describes an innovative interface panel designed to facilitate modular communication between a server unit and various input connections. The panel features a dual-sided configuration, with a first plurality of modular communication interfaces on the front side for connecting to a server, including both power and data interfaces, and a second plurality on the back side for receiving input connections. Notably, the interfaces on both sides are interchangeable, allowing for flexibility in configuration. The design also includes an internal enclosure that houses communication cables linking the front and back interfaces, enhancing organization and reducing clutter.
Additionally, the patent outlines a system that incorporates interchangeable communication interfaces within a support structure, which is equipped with retention members such as clips or fasteners to secure the interfaces. This system is designed to minimize cable run lengths by positioning the support structure close to the server unit, thereby improving efficiency. The interfaces can be arranged in multiple rows and are compatible with various input connections, ensuring adaptability to different configurations. The inclusion of features like openings for easy access and a sensor for monitoring connection integrity and temperature further enhances the functionality of the interface panel and system.
