Backplane

Similar to a personal computer's motherboard and sometimes a term used to describe the computer's motherboard, a backplane is a printed circuit board containing connections for expansion boards to be plugged into. The backplane allows the different expansion boards to communicate and interact with each other. A good example of where your may find a backplane is in a network router that allows expansion boards.  The backplane would allow the different expansion boards used in the router to pass traffic and interact with each other.
