  • Publication number: 20230216234
    Abstract: A connector cage assembly includes a housing, an intermediate member, a heat sink and a movable stop member. The housing defines upper and lower plug sockets stacked in a vertical direction. The intermediate member is arranged between the upper socket and the lower socket, and the heat sink is arranged adjacent the intermediate member. The stop member is movable within the housing between a first position in which it is positioned at a first distance from the heat sink, and a second position in which it is positioned at a second distance from the heat sink, greater than the first distance. The stop member is adapted to limit the insertion of a plug connector inserted into the lower plug socket.

  • Publication number: 20230029814
    Abstract: A connector cage assembly includes a housing defining an upper port and a lower port stacked over each other in an up-down direction, an intermediate member between the upper port and the lower port in the up-down direction, and a movable stopper movably disposed on the intermediate member and movable between a first position and a second position in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The movable stopper is at least partially located inside the intermediate member in the first position. The movable stopper at least partially extends beyond the intermediate member and limits a plug connector inserted into the lower port in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210304311
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes maintaining at a first network connected server a record of a group of stakeholders with an interest in the performance attributes of a digital asset. Maintaining includes collecting stakeholder digital consideration from the group of stakeholders. A second network connected server stores a list of experts on the performance attributes of digital assets. A first endorsement of the performance attributes of a digital asset and expert digital consideration are received at the first network connected server from a network connected expert client machine. A second endorsement of the performance attributes of the digital asset and non-expert digital consideration are received at the first network connected server from a network connected non-expert client machine.
