Abstract: A receptacle cage includes cage walls extending between a front end and a rear end including a top wall and side walls forming a module channel receiving a pluggable module. The receptacle cage includes a gasket at the front end having EMI springs electrically connected to the cage walls. Each EMI spring has a deflectable portion between a base and a distal end. The distal end is split with a first end beam and a second end beam at the distal end separated by a gap. The deflectable portion is spaced apart from the cage wall and is deflectable toward the cage wall. Each EMI spring has first and second side edges between the base and the distal end. The EMI springs are arranged side-by-side without gaps between adjacent EMI springs.

Abstract: A pluggable module includes a pluggable body extending between a front end and a mating end receivable in a module cavity of a receptacle assembly to mate with a communication connector. The pluggable body has a top, a bottom, a first side wall and a second side wall between the top and the bottom and has an upper shell defining the top and a lower shell defining the bottom coupled together at a seam. A seam cover is coupled to the pluggable body at the first side wall covering the seam between the upper shell and the lower shell on the first side wall. The seam cover is conductive and provides EMI shielding at the seam for a communication circuit board held in the pluggable body.

Abstract: A receptacle cage includes shielding walls forming a module channel configured to receive a pluggable module. The shielding walls include first and second side walls extending from a top wall to form a module channel configured to receive a pluggable module. The top wall is non-planar and has a shroud extending therefrom forming a cage polarization feature. The shroud has a first shroud side wall, a second shroud side wall and a shroud top wall forming a polarization feature channel configured to receive a polarization feature of the pluggable module.
