Abstract: A connector assembly includes housing and one or more light guide members. Each light guide member includes a tube body, an extension column, a positioning member, and a fixing member. The tube body is located on the housing. The extension column extends downward from the tube body to a rear side of the housing. The positioning member is located on the extension column and inserted into a rear wall of the housing. The fixing member is located on the extension column and inserted into the rear wall. The fixing member includes a first bump protruding from the extension column toward the rear wall and a hook structure located on the first bump. When each light guide member is assembled onto the housing, the first bump is inserted into the rear wall, and the hook structure is hooked into the rear wall.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing, a first sandwich structure, and a support structure. The housing includes two accommodating cavities vertically adjacent to each other, where each accommodating cavity is used for receiving a docking connector. The first sandwich structure is disposed between the two accommodating cavities. The support structure penetrates two side walls of the housing and two side walls of the first sandwich structure to fix the first sandwich structure on the housing.

Abstract: A connector includes a cage and a heat-radiation element. A top wall of the cage includes an opening, and first engaging structures extending from the top wall of the cage toward an outside of the cage at a periphery of the opening. The heat-radiation element is disposed on the cage corresponding to the opening, and first notches corresponding to the first engaging structures are disposed on side walls of the heat-radiation element. Each first engaging structure passes through the corresponding first notch to engage the heat-radiation element on the cage. The cage has a receiving cavity and supporting structure at a bottom of the receiving cavity. When a mating connector is inserted into the receiving cavity, a bottom of the mating connector is supported by the supporting structure, a top of the mating connector abuts against the heat-radiation element through the opening, and the heat-radiation element remains substantially stationary.

Abstract: A protective shell assembly is used for accommodating a connector. The protective shell assembly includes a cage and at least one light pipe. The cage has a plurality of wall surfaces, and the wall surfaces are connected to at least one another to define an accommodating space. The at least one light pipe passes through one of the wall surfaces so that a part of the light pipe is located in the accommodating space and the other part is located outside the accommodating space. A connector assembly with the protective shell assembly is also provided.
