A connector is disclosed that includes a cage that defines a first port and second port that are vertically spaced apart. Card slots are positioned in the ports. A thermal management module is positioned between the two ports. The thermal management module directs thermal energy from one or both ports past a rear wall of the connector. A heat sink can be coupled to the thermal management module to improve thermal dissipation.

Connector with thermal management
