interconnect
Link multiple systems
To interconnect is to connect with each other, forming a network or system where parts link together: The trails interconnect throughout the park.
Things that interconnect have mutual connections rather than one-way links.
As a noun, an interconnect is a physical connection between systems or components, common in telecommunications and computing: a fiber optic interconnect.
