Abstract
An apparatus simulates cable routing for determining signal integrity between electronic components within a computer chassis. The apparatus includes a base plate simulating a computer chassis base. The base plate includes a top surface. The apparatus further includes a plurality of reconfigurable mounting fixtures, each allowing temporary mounting of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to a respective reconfigurable mounting fixture. Each of the plurality of reconfigurable mounting fixtures is temporarily mountable anywhere on the top surface of the base plate. The apparatus further includes a cable having a first end connector that allows a connection to a first PCBA, and a second end connector that allows a connection to a second PCBA.
