Abstract
A cable pillar is provided for use in a switch system. The cable pillar includes a cavity that enables a plurality of cables to pass from a first side to a second side of the cable pillar. For example, the cables may be routed from sets of access paths located in rails mounted on the sides of the cable pillar to enlarged access paths located near the top or bottom of the cable pillar. The enlarged access paths may be sized to receive every cable that passes through a set of access paths located on an opposing side of the cable pillar from a corresponding enlarged access path. Additionally, the cable pillar may be configured to releasably attach to a chassis of the switch system. In some examples, the plurality of cables accommodated by the cable pillar may serve as a cable backplane of the switch system.
