Abstract: A pluggable module includes a pluggable body having an upper shell at the top and a lower shell at the bottom that define an interior chamber. The upper shell includes side walls extending to the top and an upper wall extending between the side walls. The upper shell includes an airflow channel and EMI prevention fins having EMI channels therebetween in flow communication with the airflow channel. The upper wall along the airflow channel is at a first depth from the top and the upper wall along the EMI channels is at a second depth deeper than the first depth.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a cage member having a plurality of walls defining first and second module cavities configured to receive corresponding pluggable modules therein. The module cavities are separated by a separator wall. The connector assembly includes a separator spring plate along the separator wall. The separator spring plate has a base section coplanar with the separator wall along a separator wall plane. The separator spring plate has first separator spring beams extending out of the separator wall plane to a first side of the separator wall plane into the first module cavity to couple to the pluggable module received therein and second separator spring beams extending out of the separator wall plane to a second side of the separator wall plane into the second module cavity to electrically couple to the pluggable module received therein.

Abstract: A receptacle connector assembly includes a receptacle cage having walls defining a cavity and a divider in the cavity including upper and lower panels separated by a gap and separating the cavity into upper and lower module channels receiving corresponding pluggable modules. The receptacle connector assembly includes a communication connector in the cavity having a housing holding upper and lower contact modules. The receptacle connector assembly includes a light pipe assembly including a first light pipe member coupled to the communication connector and a second light pipe member coupled to the divider. The second light pipe member receives light from the first light pipe member at a separable mating interface.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes a contact assembly received in a cavity of a housing having a card slot in a shroud configured to receive a card edge of a module circuit board of a pluggable module. The contact assembly has upper and lower contacts having mating ends. The card edge connector includes upper biasing members at a top wall of the shroud associated with corresponding upper contacts each having an outer biasing surface engaging the pluggable module when mated with the card edge connector and having an inner biasing surface engaging the contact assembly proximate to the corresponding upper contact. The upper biasing member is movable from a released position to a compressed position. The upper biasing member moves the upper contact from an unmated position to a mated position as the upper biasing member is moved from the released position to the compressed position.

Abstract: A communication system includes a host circuit board, a receptacle assembly mounted to the host circuit board having a cage member defining a module cavity, and a pluggable module having a pluggable body loaded into the module cavity. The pluggable body has a mating interface along a bottom of the pluggable body facing the host circuit board. The pluggable module has a cable assembly having a cable and a cable connector at an end of the cable including signal contacts held by a contact holder that are terminated to signal conductors of the cable. The signal contacts have deflectable spring beams and mating interfaces along the deflectable spring beams exposed at the mating interface of the pluggable body to engage and directly mate with corresponding signal pads of the host circuit board.

Abstract: A pluggable module includes a pluggable body having a top and channel walls extending above the top defining a cooling channel along the top. The cooling channel allows airflow between a front end and a mating end of the pluggable body. The pluggable module includes a communication circuit board held in the pluggable body. The pluggable module includes an EMI shield coupled to the pluggable body above the top. The EMI shield has a shield plate spanning the cooling channel. The shield plate is metal and provides electrical shielding across the cooling channel. The shield plate has openings allowing airflow therethrough to flow through the cooling channel.
