Abstract
A pluggable module includes a pluggable body extending between a mating end and a cable end. The pluggable body has first and second ends with sides extending therebetween along a length of the pluggable body. The first end, second end and sides define a cavity. The pluggable body includes a plurality of fins extending outward from at least one of the first end, the second end and the sides. Channels are defined between the fins. The pluggable body has grid fins extending across the channels between adjacent fins. The pluggable module includes an internal circuit board held in the cavity. The internal circuit board is provided at an end of a cable communicatively coupled to the internal circuit board. The pluggable body is configured to be plugged into a receptacle assembly such that the internal circuit board is communicatively coupled to a communication connector of the receptacle assembly.
