Abstract
A module for multiple network pluggable optics is disclosed. The module includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB); a faceplate connected to the PCB; a plurality of cage assemblies connected to the PCB, each cage assembly is configured to receive a pluggable optical module via a corresponding opening in the faceplate; and a shared heat exchanger that is integrally formed and substantially covers the plurality of cage assemblies, wherein the shared heat exchanger is configured to cool multiple pluggable optics in the plurality of cage assemblies.
