Cage receptacle assembly with heat dissipation units

A method of manufacturing a cage receptacle assembly configured to receive a cable connector, the method comprising:

• providing a top cage member defined by a top portion and two side portions, wherein the top cage member defines a top opening;
• providing a bottom cage member defining a bottom opening;
• attaching the bottom cage member to the top cage member via the two side portions of the top cage member to form a cage body defining a first end and a second end, wherein the cage body defines a receiving space configured to at least partially receive a cable connector therein via the first end such that a top surface of the cable connector is disposed proximate the top cage member and associated top opening and a bottom surface of the cable connector is disposed proximate the bottom cage member and associated bottom opening, wherein the second end is configured to be received by a datacenter rack for enabling signals to pass between the cable connector that is at least partially received therein and the datacenter rack;
• disposing a heat dissipation unit within the top opening of the cage body, and
• disposing a heat dissipation unit within the bottom opening of the cage body,
• wherein each heat dissipation unit comprises one or more heat dissipation elements configured to allow heat to be transferred from the cable connector that is at least partially received within the receiving space to an external environment of the cage receptacle assembly.
