Abstract
The present invention comprises a full mesh optical backplane with power distribution conductors. The backplane provides a set of power distribution conductors and a plurality of dedicated, optically isolated transmission guides such that each circuit board assembly within a system can directly transmit optically isolated data to any and all other circuit boards using dedicated, individual transmission means within the system and such that each circuit board assembly is provided with power from a centralized source.
