CONNECTOR SYSTEM WITH THERMAL MANAGEMENT

A connector system includes a cage with an intermediate section. The cage support a connector and the resulting connector system includes an upper port and a lower port. A heat sink is provided in the intermediate section that is configured to cool a module inserted into the lower port. Apertures can allow air to flow through the connector system so as to allow for improved cooling by more directly cooling the inserted module. The heat sink can be urged into the lower port by a biasing element. 种连接器系统包括具有中间部分的罩。该罩支撑连接器，并且由此形成的连接器系统包括上部端口和下部端口。散热器设置在该中间部分中，所述中间部分构造成用于冷却插入到所述下部端口中的模块。孔使空气能够流经该连接器系统，以便通过更直接地冷却插入的模块而提高制冷。散热器可被偏置元件推入到下部端口中。
