Cooling the future of AI: Danfoss’ innovation in optical networking
Stand 1459
8th July 2026
As AI infrastructure evolves, Danfoss is extending liquid cooling to high-density optical networking. The company is developing the XBMC (eXtra-dense Pluggable Optics Blind-Mate Liquid Connector) for the emerging XPO (eXtra-dense Pluggable Optics) ecosystem, aiming to create scalable, liquid-cooled optical switches with up to four times the bandwidth density of traditional platforms. This program builds on Danfoss’s proven expertise in liquid cooling for AI, where its MQD, UQD, and FD83 quick disconnect couplings are widely used. By leveraging its experience in reliable, leak-free fluid connections, Danfoss is helping to shape the future of fully liquid-cooled data centers.
