Abstract:
1. A heat dissipation mechanism for an optical transceiver module that is configured to be inserted into a module card cage comprising: a thermal conductive label having at least one raised portion attached to a surface of the optical transceiver module; and a depression formed on a surface of the module card cage that is on top of at least a portion of a slot of the module card cage configured to receive the optical transceiver module, the depression protruding into the slot; wherein the at least one raised portion is configured to contact at least a portion of a module card cage when the optical transceiver module is inserted into the module card cage so as to dissipate heat from the optical transceiver to the module card cage; and wherein the depression is configured to contact at least a portion of the surface of the optical transceiver module inserted into the slot so as to further dissipate heat from the optical transceiver to the module card cage.
