Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a cage that (A) is coupled to a circuit board of a telecommunications device and (B) houses the optical module when the optical module is installed in the telecommunications device, (2) a heatsink that (A) makes physical contact with the optical module via an opening of the cage and (B) absorbs heat generated by the optical module during operation in the telecommunications device, and (3) a gasket that (A) resides between the heatsink and the cage and (B) reduces electromagnetic noise in connection with the operation of the optical module in the telecommunications device. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 11):
A telecommunications device comprising:\n an optical module that facilitates communication; a cage that:\n is coupled to a circuit board; and \n includes a compartment dedicated to housing the optical module when the optical module is installed; \n a heatsink that includes a pedestal, wherein the heatsink:\n sits on top of the cage in a base position such that the pedestal extends into the compartment of the cage via an opening of the cage when the optical module is not installed in the cage; \n is lifted from the base position to an elevated position as the optical module is installed into the cage due to physical contact between the pedestal and the optical module; \n absorbs heat generated by the optical module during operation by way of the physical contact between the pedestal and the optical module; and \n a gasket that:\n resides between the heatsink and the cage; and \n reduces electromagnetic noise in connection with the operation of the optical module; and \n is adhered to the heatsink by an adhesive that holds the gasket against the heatsink even when the optical module is removed from the cage.
