Abstract
The present disclosure relates to conductive cooling of a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. For example, an SFP transceiver assembly may include a cooling block and a thermally conductive pad having a thermally conductive material. The SFP transceiver assembly may include a spring finger that contacts the thermally conductive pad while the SFP transceiver is inserted into the SFP transceiver assembly to allow heat to be conducted from the SFP transceiver to the cooling block via the thermally conductive pad to conductively cool the SFP transceiver.
