Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid-cooled cabinet technology, and in particular to a liquid-cooled cabinet with a network fiber optic connection device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two main cabling solutions for immersion liquid-cooled server racks. The first is a direct-connect topology, where the switch and server are directly connected via a single long cable, which is completely submerged in coolant at the liquid-cooled rack end. The second is a simple junction box solution, where unprotected junction boxes are installed in the rack, achieving only physical cabling but lacking adaptability to liquid-cooled environments (a common industry practice).
[0003] Existing technologies generally lack modular wiring nodes optimized for immersion conditions. Maintenance requires replacing the entire cable from the switch to the server. If a single long cable is partially damaged, the entire cable must be replaced. Disassembly and reassembly in the immersion environment leads to increased coolant loss and downtime, resulting in high maintenance costs. If a new server is added, rewiring is required. There is a lack of flexible expansion capabilities with standard interfaces, resulting in poor scalability. In addition, due to the lack of segmented diagnostic nodes, fault diagnosis requires testing each segment of the cable, making fault location difficult. Utility Model Content
