The Universal Quick Disconnect blind-mate (UQDB) coupling for data center applications is developed within the OCP (Open Compute Project) initiative, an initiative that has established a new global standard within the data center industry community for quick connect couplings. Compact design, blind-mate function and +/- 1 mm radial misalignment tolerance are features that makes this coupling solution a perfect fit for Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) applications within the data center segment.
