Abstract:
A module for multiple network pluggable optics is disclosed. The module includes a faceplate, a plurality of cage assemblies, and a plurality of springs. The faceplate includes a front face, a first wall extending from the front face, the first wall including a heat exchanger, and a second wall extending from the front face, the second wall being offset from the first wall. The plurality of cage assemblies is positioned at least partially within a volume defined by the front face and the first and second walls. Each cage assembly is configured to receive a pluggable optical module. The plurality of springs are configured with one or more springs positioned between each cage assembly and the second wall to push the plurality of cage assemblies towards the first wall such that each pluggable optical module received into one of the plurality of cage assemblies is pressed against the heat exchanger.
