  • Patent number: 10856055
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a cooling system for network connections. An example system includes a networking cage assembly that receives a networking cable and a water block that circulates water. The system includes a thermal unit that includes a thermal medium. The thermal medium defines a static end that thermally engages the water block and a dynamic end opposite the static end that is disposed within the networking cage assembly. In an operational configuration in which the networking cable is received by the networking cage assembly, a portion of the dynamic end thermally engages the networking cable so as to dissipate heat from the networking cable to the thermal medium, the thermal medium conducts the heat from the dynamic end to the static end, and the static end dissipates heat from the thermal medium via thermal engagement with the water block.

  • Patent number: 10320113
    Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a cage receptacle assembly configured to receive a cable connector. The cage receptacle assembly includes a cage body defining a first end and a second end. The cage body includes a top cage member attached to a bottom cage member via two side portions of the top cage member, and the bottom cage member defines an opening. The cage receptacle assembly defines a heat dissipation unit disposed within the opening of the bottom cage member, and the heat dissipation unit includes one or more heat dissipation elements allowing heat to be transferred from the cable connector to an external environment of the cage receptacle assembly.

  • Patent number: 9329349
    Abstract: An apparatus includes one or more optoelectronic transducers, driving circuitry, one or more cooling elements, and a light coupling module. The optoelectronic transducers are configured to convert between optical signals conveyed over optical fibers and respective electrical signals. The driving circuitry is configured to process the electrical signals. The cooling elements are configured to remove heat that is produced at least by the driving circuitry. The light coupling module is configured to couple the optical signals between the optical fibers and the optoelectronic transducers, and additionally serves as a baseplate for the cooling elements.
