optic module cage body 16 adjacent the stationary heatsink 12 again it will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that a variety of materials similar configurations spring members 18 and 20 and floating connectors 14 may be used as appropriate for example the stationary heatsink 12 and the other heatsink or other structure 26 may be disposed interchangeably along the top or bottom of the optic module cage body 16 in a vertically oriented configuration and along either side of the optic module cage body 16 in a horizontally oriented configuration the floating connector 14 preferably makes flexible electrical connection to the associated pcb not illustrated advantageously the stationary heatsink 12 and the other heatsink or other structure 26 may span multiple optic module cage bodies 16 multiple optic modules as a common stationary heatsink 12 and a common other heatsink or other structure 26 as is described in greater detail herein below fig5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a still further exemplary embodiment of the optic module cage assembly 10 of the present invention utilizing a plurality of stationary heatsinks 12 a plurality of floating heatsinks or spring plates 22 and a plurality of floating connectors 14 to accommodate a plurality of inserted optic modules not illustrated in a stacked or side by side configuration specifically the stationary heatsinks 12 are bonded or otherwise fixedly attached to the optic module cage bodies 16 a portion of each of the stationary heatsinks 12 protrudes through the associated optic module cage body 16 such that it selectively makes direct physical contact with the associated inserted optic module the floating heatsinks 22 are.
