Electrical connector assembly with EMI cover

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a cage comprising an interior cavity and a divider that divides the interior cavity into first and second internal compartments, the cage having a front end that is open to the first and second internal compartments, the first and second internal compartments being configured to receive first and second pluggable modules, respectively, therein through the front end, the divider comprising a front wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall, the top and bottom walls being spaced apart from each other to define a chamber therebetween, the front wall extending from the top wall to the bottom wall at the front end of the cage, and
• an electromagnetic interference (EMI) cover mounted to the divider such that the EMI cover is engaged with and electrically connected to the divider, the EMI cover comprising a front segment that covers at least a portion of the front wall of the divider, the EMI cover having first and second sets of electrically conductive springs that extend from the front segment into the first and second internal compartments, respectively, the first and second sets of electrically conductive springs being configured to engage and electrically connect to the first and second pluggable modules, respectively, when the first and second pluggable modules are received within the respective first and second internal compartments.

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a cage having a wall that includes an exterior side, the cage comprising an interior cavity and a divider that divides the interior cavity into at least two internal compartments, the cage comprising a front end that is open to the internal compartments, the wall having a front edge at the front end, the internal compartments being configured to receive pluggable modules therein through the front end;
• and
• an electromagnetic interference (EMI) cover mounted to the divider such that the EMI cover is engaged with and electrically connected to the divider, the EMI cover comprising a flap that wraps around the front edge of the wall such that the flap overlaps and engages the exterior side of the wall.
