Abstract
A connector system with improved thermal management is provided. Various receptacles are provided that include features which may enhance air flow, and therefore cooling. Thermal channel features in the receptacle cage and/or housing allow air passing through the receptacle to directly remove thermal energy from components within and carry the thermal energy out of the cage.
