CoolIT and Stäubli bring liquid cooling to pluggable optics
What happened
CoolIT Systems and Stäubli announced they are extending direct-to-plug liquid cooling to high-power optical transceivers used in AI data centres. The approach combines CoolIT's CP-OSFP cold plate with Stäubli's Mini Quick Disconnect (Mini QD) technology, which was developed in collaboration with Ciena, to address the thermal demands of next-generation OSFP optical modules. The source does not state whether the solution has been deployed or is in production; this is an announced collaboration/approach.
