Disclosed is an apparatus and method for connecting a power feeder cable at a point for convenient operator access to an electrical subsystem located inside of a telecom equipment assembly. According to one embodiment, the terminal connection of the power feeder cable to the power entry point is positioned so as to be conveniently accessible to an operator from the telecom equipment aisle. According to another embodiment, a linking bus structure comprising, a first connector, a conducting path and a second connector, is mounted inside the telecom equipment assembly with the first connector positioned at the front panel of the telecom equipment assembly and conveniently accessible to an operator from the telecom equipment aisle. The apparatus and method are useful for overcoming difficulties normally encountered during inspection and maintenance of the connection of the power feeder cable at its terminal connection in a telecom equipment assembly.

Front access power landing design

A device for dissipating heat produced by circuitry such as the circuitry associated with an optical transponder includes a plurality of heat dissipating regions. Each heat dissipating region includes a heat sink that is thermally coupled with at least one component. Each heat sink is at least partially thermally isolated from other heat sinks to mitigate heat flow from high-power components to heat sensitive components. Further, all of the heat sinks associated with the circuit package are electrically coupled to provide electromagnetic shielding. A thermally insulative and electrically conductive gasket is employed to couple adjacent heat sinks.
