A HEAT DISSIPATER ASSEMBLY

A heat dissipater assembly for an optical module for a telecommunications unit. The heat dissipater assembly includes a heat dissipater, a first connector portion coupled to the dissipater body and a second connector portion coupled to the dissipater body. The heat dissipater has a dissipater body including a recess for receiving the optical module, such that the optical module is in thermal communication with the dissipater body, and one or more heat dissipation structures configured to dissipate heat from the optical module into an environment around the heat dissipater. The optical connector is optically connected to the optical module received within the recess. The second connector portion is configured to be coupled to the telecommunications unit. The heat dissipater assembly further includes an electrical extender. The electrical extender is configured to be partially received within the heat dissipater.
