Re: Backpan or backplane?

[DaveC <davec2468 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Sometimes it helps to do a patent search for terms such as this. 

This is the typical use of the term “backpan” that I can find:

www.middleatlantic.com/ ~/ media/ MiddleAtlantic/ Documents/ TechDocs/ EWR%20Series%20Wall%20Mount%20Rack_96-01004/ 96_01004EWR.ashx

A chassis (usually metal) to serve as a physical—not electrical—mounting platform for subassemblies. 

So “backplane” precisely—and historically—describes what you want.
