Abstract
An electrical connector cage assembly includes a connector casing, a heat-dissipating structure, and a light-guiding part. The heat-dissipating structure is disposed on an outer side wall of the connector casing and includes a base portion and a plurality of fins protruding from the base portion and extending parallel to each other and the base portion. One of the fins protrudes relative to the base portion longer than another one, so that an accommodating space is formed above the shorter fin and extends parallel to the fins. The light-guiding part is disposed above the heat-dissipating structure. A light-guiding rod body of the light-guiding part is accommodated in the accommodating space. An electrical connector uses the electrical connector cage assembly. An electronic apparatus includes the electrical connector and an apparatus casing. A light-output portion of the light-guiding part is disposed toward a light-permeable structure of a panel of the apparatus casing.
