Abstract
A network apparatus having a chassis with an external network data port and a removable electronic module coupled to the network data port through an internal data port when the removable electronic module is present in the chassis. The chassis may also provide power, radio frequency (RF), data bus, and other types of electrical and data connections to the electronic module through the use of additional internal ports. The apparatus may additionally be connected to others via a data bus, and be included as part of a rack-mounted system. The electronic module may be inserted and removed from the chassis while electrical power is applied to the chassis.
