Abstract
A module in a hardened optical platform includes one or more Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and associated components; at least one cage configured to receive a pluggable optical module, wherein the at least one cage is on a PCB of the one or more PCBs; and a housing enclosing the one or more PCBs, wherein the housing covers the one or more PCBs, the associated components, and the at least one cage with the pluggable optical module, with respect to airflow, wherein a thermally conductive conduit is formed between the pluggable optical module once inserted and the housing, enabling the pluggable optical module to operate in the housing which is sealed with respect to airflow.
