Abstract

Presented herein are optical module cage designs and heatsink configurations for improved air cooling of pluggable optical modules disposed within the optical module cages. The designs and configurations presented herein facilitate efficient air cooling of higher power pluggable optical modules by enhancing airflow through the optical module cages, increasing contact between the optical modules and the heatsinks, and/or increasing the heatsink dissipation surface area.
