■ About the award-winning product: Resin Coupling Manifold for Direct Liquid Cooling
The product we supplied for "ShowNet", a large-scale live network project at the "Interop Tokyo 2026" venue, was highly acclaimed for its contribution to a unique live demonstration featuring a water-cooled ORV3 rack, serving to validate the feasibility of water-cooling infrastructure.
Compared to conventional metal versions, Nifco’s resin-based modular water-cooling manifold is lightweight, making it easier to transport and helping to alleviate floor load-bearing requirements in data center facilities. It also minimizes temperature fluctuations in the cooling water supplied by the CDU, while mold-based manufacturing enables cost reductions. Furthermore, leveraging expertise gained from automotive component development, the design allows for tool-free, one-touch installation and offers the flexibility to adjust the length by adding or removing modular units to suit various rack sizes.
