  • Optical module housing uses grade aluminum alloy

    Optical module housing uses grade aluminum alloy

    A380 aluminum alloy is used and high pressure die casting is used to improve material density and reduce porosity defects. The housing is not easily deformed under impact or continuous loading. Focus on controlling the dimensional accuracy of key mating interfaces and the flatness of contact surfaces, and structurally ensure the connection stability of optical modules during high-speed transmission and repeated insertion cycles. These modules are essential for converting electrical signals into light signals and vice versa, forming the backbone of fiber optic communication systems in data centers. Furthermore, the choice of materials in die casting, such as aluminum and zinc alloys, adds significant value to the optical module housing. Think of it as the chassis or skeleton of the module. Inside, delicate elements like the laser transmitter, photodiode receiver, driver ICs. Aluminium alloys obtained by rapid solidification process have been successfully used for manufacturing optical mirrors.

  • The side of the cold aisle next to the server rack

    The side of the cold aisle next to the server rack

    The hot aisle is located adjacent to the cold aisle. The cold aisle layout is the most common starting point in data center design. Cold air is delivered into this aisle through: Servers pull this cold air into their front. The hot aisle /cold aisle data center layout was originated by IBM in 1992 and it is one of the oldest ways to save energy in the data center. We're essentially putting those servers back-to-back, we're putting them front-to-front, if you will, on these servers. And the cold air is moving up, and because it's the front of the server, the server is now pulling that. In this layout, server racks are arranged in alternating rows, with the fronts of servers facing each other (Cold Aisles) and the backs facing each other (Hot Aisles).
