Home / Relationship between optical modules and liquid-cooled servers
Principle: Entire servers, including optical modules, are submerged in a dielectric coolant (a fluid that is non-conductive and non-corrosive to electronic components). But now, advanced applications such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are taking high data processing demands to the next level — and legacy cooling solutions for I/O modules may no longer be enough. When AI cluster computing power is being strangled by thermal bottlenecks, you need more than just standard optical modules; you need an integrated solution for data and thermal management. This article provides an in-depth analysis of how, under extreme 400W heat density, the perfect synergy. Traditional air-cooling solutions can no longer meet the thermal demands of high-performance chips such as GPUs, ASICs, and optical chips.
