Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for dissipating heat in an optical communication system, that have improved heat dissipation effects and that are efficient in terms of space utilization.SOLUTION: Heat dissipation resources are allocated in an optical communications module based on the sensitivity of electrical and optoelectronic components of the module to temperature. Components that have a higher sensitivity to temperature are allocated a greater proportion of available heat dissipation resources than components that have a lower sensitivity to temperature. In addition, heat dissipation resources that are allocated to components that have different sensitivities to temperature are thermally decoupled from one another.
