Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide an optical connector cage configured to receive an optical cable connector. The optical connector cage includes a body defined by a top portion, a bottom portion, two side portions, a first end, and a second end. The body defines a receiving space that can at least partially receive an optical cable connector therein and one or more openings. The optical connector cage defines one or more heat dissipation units disposed within the one or more openings, and each heat dissipation unit further includes a first set of heat dissipation elements having a first height, and a second set of heat dissipation elements having a second height. The second height is different than the first height such that the one or more heat dissipation elements allow heat to be transferred from the body to an external environment.

Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a cage receptacle assembly configured to receive a cable connector. The cage receptacle assembly includes a cage body defining a first end and a second end. The cage body includes a top cage member attached to a bottom cage member via two side portions of the top cage member, and the bottom cage member defines an opening. The cage receptacle assembly defines a heat dissipation unit disposed within the opening of the bottom cage member, and the heat dissipation unit includes one or more heat dissipation elements allowing heat to be transferred from the cable connector to an external environment of the cage receptacle assembly.

A cooling apparatus includes first and second wedges, a solid thermal interface material (TIM) and a flexible force-exerting element. The first wedge has a first flat surface and a first diagonal surface. The first flat surface is configured to dissipate heat from an electronic device. The second wedge has a second flat surface and a second diagonal surface. The second diagonal surface faces the first diagonal surface, and the second flat surface is coupled to a heat sink and configured to dissipate heat thereto. The TIM is disposed between the first and second diagonal surfaces, and is configured to transfer heat between the first and second wedges. The force-exerting element is configured to move the first wedge or the second wedge, so as to slide the first diagonal surface or the second diagonal surface on the TIM and push the second flat surface against the heat sink.
