Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a faceplate that facilitates at least one connection between at least one communication cable and a line card that forwards traffic in connection with a network, (2) at least one heatsink that (A) is integrated into the faceplate and (B) absorbs heat dissipated by at least one electronic component included in the line card, and (3) at least one mount that (A) is integrated into the faceplate and (B) enables the electronic component to attach to the heatsink. Various other apparatuses and systems are also disclosed.
