Claim Text:
1. A receptacle assembly comprising: a cage comprising an interior cavity and a divider that divides the interior cavity into first and second ports, the cage having a front end that is open to the first and second ports, the first and second ports configured to receive first and second pluggable modules, respectively, therein through the front end, the divider comprising an internal compartment that extends between the first and second ports, the divider including a first wall that defines a division between the first port and the internal compartment and a second wall that defines a division between the second port and the internal compartment, the first wall comprising an opening extending therethrough; and a thermal transfer assembly comprising a base and a spring, the base being received within the internal compartment of the divider and comprising a module side that faces the first port, the module side engaging the first wall and entirely covering the opening, the module side comprising a platform that extends into the opening of the first wall of the divider, the platform having a module surface at which the base is configured to thermally communicate with the first pluggable module, the spring being operatively connected between the second wall of the divider and the base such that the spring is configured to bias the base toward the first port and thereby press the module surface of the platform into physical contact with the first pluggable module in the first port, the second wall extending between the thermal transfer assembly and the second pluggable module in the second port such that the thermal transfer assembly does not engage in physical contact with the second pluggable module.
