Abstract

Improved cooling in one or more device ports of an article of manufacture. The device ports are affixed in position by a cage disposed within the article of manufacture. One or more single-piece thermal conductive pedestals have a portion in thermal contact with each device port. The one or more single-piece thermal conductive pedestals are formed from the same physical piece which serves as, at least a portion of, a physical exterior of the article of manufacture. Heat is transferred from the device ports to the exterior of the article of manufacture through the thermal conductive pedestals, thereby allowing device ports to the cooled without reliance upon airflow. The device ports may accommodate different types of pluggable devices, such as without limitations optical modules and transceivers.
