Standardized hot-pluggable transceiving unit with heat dissipation capabilities

Abstract

Transceiving unit with heat dissipation capabilities. The transceiving unit comprises a housing adapted to being inserted into a port of a hosting unit, the housing defining a top surface. The transceiving unit comprises a rear connector located on a back panel of the housing. The transceiving unit comprises at least one electronic component located inside the housing. The transceiving unit comprises an insert disposed along the top surface of the housing, the insert passively extracting heat generated by the at least one electronic component located inside the housing. Alternatively or complementarily to the insert, the transceiving unit comprises a heat sink integrated to a front panel of the housing for passively extracting heat generated by the at least one electronic component located inside the housing. In a particular aspect, the transceiving unit is a standardized hot-pluggable transceiving unit, the housing having standardized dimensions.
