A device for holding a plurality of ferrules securely against a respective plurality of receptacles, which may include: a frame including: a transverse portion arranged in a transverse direction, a first longitudinal portion projecting from a first edge of the transverse portion and a second longitudinal portion projecting from a second edge of the transverse portion opposite to the first edge of the transverse portion, wherein the first and the second longitudinal portions project from the respective edges of the transverse portion in a longitudinal direction that is substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction; and a holder coupled between the first and second longitudinal portions of the frame, the holder being configured to hold, with respect to the frame, a plurality of ferrules arranged longitudinally parallel to each other and being distanced from each other in the transverse direction.

Device for holding a plurality of ferrules against a respective plurality of receptacles

A transceiver includes, (a) a communication circuit, which is configured to exchange signals between a cable and a communication unit when the transceiver is connected to the communication unit, and (b) a housing, including: (i) a first shell including a substrate having the communication circuit disposed thereon, (ii) a second shell, which is configured to connect with the first shell for encapsulating the communication circuit, the second shell has an opening facing the communication circuit, and (iii) a base plate, which is fitted in the opening and including a first surface having one or more cooling fins formed thereon, and a second surface, opposite the first surface that is facing the communication circuit, the base plate is configured to transfer heat between the communication circuit and the cooling fins.

Mechanical thermal interface for improved heat dissipation in network transceivers

A network interface device may include: a frame having: a first frame end, a second frame end, a top frame surface, a bottom frame surface, a first lateral frame surface and a second lateral frame surface, wherein the top frame surface includes a longitudinal frame indent extending along a portion of the top frame surface and between the first lateral frame surface and the second lateral frame surface; and heat dissipating members protruding from the longitudinal frame indent of the top frame surface.

Network interface device having heat dissipating members

A mechanical device for cooling an electronic component may include a surface including an aperture, and a first support protruding from the surface and a second support protruding from the surface. In some embodiments, the device may include disposed within the aperture a thermal interface material (TIM).

Mechanical device for cooling an electronic component

A device may include a frame, an optical connector coupled to an external surface of the frame, and an optical fiber comprising a bent section positioned external to an interior of the frame and connected to the optical connector.

Network interface device with external optical connector

Optical splitting adaptors and associated methods of manufacturing are provided. An example optical splitting adaptor includes a first connector housing that interfaces with a first optical transceiver having a first data rate, and the first connector housing accommodates a first type multi-fiber ferrule of a first number of fibers. The example optical splitting adaptor also includes a second connector housing that defines dual receptacles for interfacing with a second optical transceiver and a third optical transceiver, and the dual receptacles receive respective multi-fiber ferrules. The example optical splitting adaptor further includes a plurality of fibers operably connecting the first connector housing and the second connector housing such that, in operation, the plurality of fibers perform optical splitting between the first type multi-fiber ferrule of the first connector housing and the multi-fiber ferrules received by the dual receptacles of the second connector housing.
