Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an optical module comprising a first end for insertion into a network device and a second end extending from the network device when the optical module is inserted into the network device, and a thermal protective layer extending over a portion of the second end of the optical module, the thermal protective layer preventing direct contact with an external surface of the optical module during removal of the optical module from the network device. The thermal protective layer exposes a portion of the external surface of the second end of the optical module to allow heat to be released from the external surface of the optical module.
