Abstract
Systems and methods for balanced cooling of electrical systems, including electrical systems containing transceivers used in electrical and optical communication. An electrical system includes a cage, where the cage has a top, front and bottom. The cage contains a plurality of upper bays disposed in the front of the cage. Each of the plurality of upper bays is configured to receive a transceiver. The cage also contains a plurality of lower bays disposed in the front of the cage. Each of the lower bays is configured to receive a transceiver. Additionally, each of the plurality of upper bays is stacked on one of the plurality of lower bays. An upper heat sink extends from the outer surface of the top of the cage and a lower heat sink extends from the outer surface of the bottom of the cage.
