The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “exemplary embodiment,” or the like in the singular or plural means that one or more particular features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with an example is included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Thus, the appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment,” “in an exemplary embodiment,” or the like in the singular or plural in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may include combined in any suitable manner.

With continuous development of a communications system technology, a large capacity requirement of the communications system requires a higher signal transmission rate in the backplane and a greater channel for signal transmission, and further, requirements for a quantity of layers, size, and density of conductive patterns in the PCB board of the backplane are higher. Moreover, the high transmission rate has higher requirements for an insulation material of the PCB board and precision of the conductive pattern in the PCB board. However, in a conventional PCB manufacturing technology, addition of the quantity of layers of the conductive patterns in the PCB board directly leads to an exponential growth of manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing costs of the PCB board, and even leads to a case in which processing cannot be performed. In addition, because the conductive pattern in the PCB board is processed by means of etching, the size and the precision of the conductive pattern cannot satisfy a requirement of high-rate signal transmission in an internal system.

Therefore, a backplane is provided. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the backplane, a PCB board is divided into a large backplane 01 and a group of small backplanes 02, and the large backplane 01 and the small backplanes 02 are assembled in a laminated manner. The large backplane 01 is used for transmission of a power source, transmission of a power source and a low-rate signal, and the small backplanes 02 are used for transmission of a high-rate signal, transmission of a high-rate signal and a low-rate signal, light transmission. The small backplanes 02 may be independent of the large backplane 01 and are assembled and disassembled in a manner of a chassis. Further, referring to FIG. 2, signal connection is implemented between subcards 03 and the large backplane 01 by means of insertion of connectors 04, and signal connection is implemented between the small backplanes 02 and the large backplane 01 by means of insertion of connectors 05.

Although the backplane with the foregoing structure separates wiring of the high-rate signal and configures the wiring in the backplanes 02, the signal transmission rate in the small backplanes 02 is still limited by a conventional PCB board manufacturing process, further leading to poor transmission quality and a low transmission rate of the high-rate signal in the communications device and an inflexible arrangement manner of a signal channel in the communications device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a backplane, and a communications device provided with the backplane. The backplane can improve transmission quality and a transmission rate of a high-rate signal in a communications device, and an arrangement manner of a signal channel is flexible.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a backplane according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4 is front view of the backplane with the structure shown in FIG. 3. The backplane of the communications device provided in this embodiment includes a backplane. The backplane is provided with at least one fixing plate 200, a fixing plate 2001, a fixing plate 2002, and a fixing plate 2003 shown in FIG. 4, and further includes multiple connectors 300 and multiple flexible cables 400. Signal connection is implemented between corresponding connectors 300 by means of the multiple flexible cables 400. As shown in FIG. 4, multiple connectors 300 are separately installed on the fixing plate 2001, the fixing plate 2002, and the fixing plate 2003.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 together, FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of connectors in a backplane according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Each connector 300 of the multiple connectors 300 is provided with a housing 301 and multiple signal pins 302 installed on the housing 301. The housing 301 is installed on the fixing plate 200, and the housing 301 is provided with a jack for insertion of a connector of a subcard in the communications device. One end of each signal pin 302 is inserted into the jack, and the other end is connected to one flexible cable 400 of the multiple flexible cables 400.

Generally, for the convenience of description, the side of each fixing plate 200 opposite to the insertion surface is referred to as a back side of the fixing plate 200.

In the backplane, before the multiple connectors 300 are installed on the fixing plate 200, signal connection may be implemented, by means of the flexible cables 400, between the multiple connectors 300 needing to be connected, and then the corresponding multiple connectors 300 only need to be installed on corresponding positions of the at least one fixing plate 200, so that the assembling is convenient. At the same time, signal connection is implemented, by means of the flexible cables 400, between multiple connectors 300 needing to be connected in the backplane, and the multiple flexible cables 400 are located on a side of each fixing plate 200 opposite to the insertion surface of the fixing plate, which does not cause an impact on the connection between the subcard and the backplane. A high-rate signal in the backplane may be transmitted by means of the flexible cables 400. Further, when the communications device provided with the backplane transmits a high-rate signal, transmission quality and a transmission rate of the high-rate signal are not limited by a conventional PCB board manufacturing process, and the high-rate signal of the communications device has relatively high transmission quality and a relatively high transmission rate. Moreover, installation positions of the connectors 300 may be selected according to actual requirements, and an arrangement manner of a signal channel in the backplane is flexible.

Specifically, in the foregoing embodiment, the connector 300 and the fixing plate 200 are assembled by means of at least one pair of a limiting groove and a limiting bulge that are in clearance fit, so that a position of the connector 300 relative to the fixing plate 200 is adjustable in a length direction of the connector opening 201 and a width direction of the connector opening 201.

Certainly, a position of the connector 300 relative to the fixing plate 200 is also adjustable perpendicularly to a length direction of the connector opening 201 and perpendicularly to a width direction of the connector opening 201.
