A connector assembly and heat sink configured to be received by a radio unit are provided. An example connector assembly includes a printed wiring board (PWB) at least partially disposed within the radio unit when in an operational configuration, and the PWB defines an extension at least partially disposed exterior to the radio unit when in the operational configuration. The connector assembly includes one or more optoelectronic components configured to convert between optical signals and electrical signals supported by the PWB, and at least a portion of the one or more optoelectronic components are disposed on the extension of the PWB. The connector assembly also includes a heat sink housing attached to the PWB that encloses the extension of the PWB and optoelectronic components disposed on the extension in order to dissipate heat from the optoelectronic components to an exterior environment of the connector assembly.
