Abstract
A cage for a stacked I/O connector that provides heat dissipation sufficient to support operation of QSFP-DD transceivers with a conventionally-sized cooling fan. The cage includes a second channel, between a first and a third channel that are sized and positioned adjacent ports of a connector so as to receive two transceivers. A face of the second channel may have a pattern of openings that enables a high airflow yet blocks electromagnetic radiation that would otherwise contribute to EMI. An element, adjacent the channel that similarly has a pattern of holes enabling high airflow, may further block EMI.
