Abstract
A connector includes a heat spreader. The heat spreader is configured to direct heat from ports to a thermal plate that is spaced apart from the connector. A plurality of connectors can be supported and a heat spreader can be associated with each connector. One or more thermal plates can be thermally coupled to the corresponding heat spreader(s) so as to direct thermal energy away from each connector. Cold blocks can be used to thermally couple the heat spreader to the corresponding thermal plates.
