    Abstract: A liquid-cooling assembly includes two or more cooling sub-assemblies and a flexible interconnect assembly. The two or more cooling sub-assemblies are configured for cooling two or more respective pluggable connector-cages, each cooling sub-assembly including (i) a heat-conducting plate for coupling to a respective pluggable connector-cage, and (ii) a liquid-conducting channel having an inlet and an outlet for flowing cooling liquid. The flexible interconnect assembly is configured to transfer the cooling liquid to and from inlets and outlets of the cooling sub-assemblies, and to mechanically support the cooling sub-assemblies while permitting motion of the cooling sub-assemblies relative to one another.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a cooling system for network connections. An example system includes a networking cage assembly that receives a networking cable and a water block that circulates water. The system includes a thermal unit that includes a thermal medium. The thermal medium defines a static end that thermally engages the water block and a dynamic end opposite the static end that is disposed within the networking cage assembly. In an operational configuration in which the networking cable is received by the networking cage assembly, a portion of the dynamic end thermally engages the networking cable so as to dissipate heat from the networking cable to the thermal medium, the thermal medium conducts the heat from the dynamic end to the static end, and the static end dissipates heat from the thermal medium via thermal engagement with the water block.
