Driven by rapid advancements in AI‑fueled optical interconnect deployments, nine leading industry organizations have jointly released an industry‑first white paper focused on Liquid Cooling Optics (LCO), tackling the critical thermal bottleneck for next‑generation high‑power pluggable optical transceivers.

Titled LCO: Enabling Next‑Gen 400W Pluggable Optics Cooling，the document outlines core advantages of the head‑side LCO architecture: native compatibility with fly‑over cable designs, robust mechanisms for mitigating coolant‑leakage risks, as well as streamlined workflows for dust inspection and cleaning.
