Claim Text:
1. A cooling apparatus for dissipating heat from a heat-producing electronic module, the cooling apparatus comprising: a thermally conductive shell having at least one surface in thermally conductive contact with the heat-producing electronic module, and configured to conduct heat away from the heat-producing electronic module, the heat-producing electronic module being an optoelectronic module; a first electrically insulative layer, positioned between the at least one surface of the thermally conductive shell and the heat-producing electronic module and configured to conduct heat from the heat-producing electronic module to the thermally conductive shell; an electrical cord attached to the heat-producing electronic module and containing a thermally conductive layer in thermally conductive contact with the thermally conductive shell, the thermally conductive layer configured to conduct heat away from the thermally conductive shell; a second electrically insulative layer, positioned between the thermally conductive layer and at least one electrical conductor within the electrical cord; and a third electrically insulative layer, positioned between the thermally conductive layer and an outer surface of the electrical cord, and configured to convectively dissipate heat from the thermally conductive layer.
