The apparatus further comprises a heat sink assembly rigidly attached to the cage. The heat sink assembly comprises a thermal interface material extending through the opening into the interior volume. The thermal interface material is configured to compress when the pluggable optical module is received into the interior volume and contacts the thermal interface material.
