When referring to a network router, switch,
server, or other network device a
blade also known as an expansion module refers to a hardware component that can be installed into a chassis
that allows for additional functionality, much like an expansion
card in a computer, but often at a much bigger scale. For example, a
router or switch that supports blades will enable a customer to customize
the box to what they need. If they need additional support for
fiber lines and they have additional room for blades they could
install one or more blades that support the type of fiber
connection they need. Also see: GBIC,
