August 26, 2024. Shenzhen, China. — Since Gigalight launched its immersion liquid-cooled optical transceiver product line in July 2021, it has now developed a comprehensive immersion liquid cooling product line, with product applications covering the 5G fronthaul product line and the latest 400G and 800G product lines for AI computing power applications.

In response to the urgent need for efficient heat dissipation solutions in AI computing data centers, Gigalight has developed highly reliable and cost-effective immersion liquid-cooled optical transceivers. They use direct immersion liquid cooling and optimized optical device sealing design to effectively prevent coolant from entering the optical path, thereby preventing the liquid from affecting the optical path.

Gigalight’s immersion liquid-cooled interconnect products are mainly based on unique technology and superb signal integrity. The product design fully combines material compatibility, mechanics, optics, pressurization, SI and other simulations and comprehensive tests, and optimizes the sealing design of optical devices and optical engines. All products undergo strict 100% immersion testing before leaving the factory to verify their applicability and durability in spray and immersion liquid cooling environments.

At present, the product has been successfully deployed in 3M and domestic fluorinated liquid, silicone oil, PAO and other coolants, proving its wide applicability and excellent compatibility. As of now, Gigalight has become one of the leaders in the field of liquid cooling interconnection in the world. The immersion liquid cooling optical transceiver products are as follows:
