NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH: FITOK UQDB Series – Liquid Cooling Universal Quick Disconnect Blind-Mate
Now Available from Three Counties Fluid Power Ltd
Three Counties Fluid Power Ltd is pleased to announce that we now supply the FITOK UQDB Series Liquid Cooling Universal Quick Disconnect Blind-Mate – an advanced, high-performance coupling solution specifically engineered for modern liquid cooling systems.
As demand for efficient, reliable and high-capacity thermal management continues to grow, particularly within data centres, high-performance computing environments and advanced electronic cooling applications, the importance of dependable fluid connections has never been greater.
The FITOK UQDB Series has been developed to meet these demanding requirements, delivering exceptional reliability, precise self-alignment, minimal fluid loss and excellent flow performance within a compact, robust design.
Engineered in accordance with the Open Compute Project (OCP) UQDB specification, these innovative quick-disconnect couplings are designed to simplify fluid connections while maintaining the performance and operational security required by sophisticated liquid cooling infrastructure.
Advanced Blind-Mate Technology
One of the most significant advantages of the FITOK UQDB Series is its innovative blind-mating connection system.
Unlike conventional quick-disconnect couplings, blind-mate technology allows mating components to connect without requiring the operator to have direct visual access to the connection point.
This makes the UQDB Series particularly suitable for installations where available space is limited, access is restricted or connections are positioned within enclosed equipment.
Its integrated self-alignment capability accommodates radial misalignment of up to 1.3 mm, helping achieve reliable connections even where components are not perfectly aligned.
This is especially beneficial within densely packed server racks, data centre cooling cabinets and complex thermal management assemblies, where conventional manual connections can be difficult or impractical.
Key Features and Benefits
Precision Self-Alignment
Engineered to accommodate up to 1.3 mm of radial misalignment, simplifying the mating process and improving connection reliability in restricted-access applications.
Ultra-Low Fluid Loss
An advanced flat-face sealing design minimises fluid loss during disconnection, helping protect sensitive electronic equipment and maintain a cleaner working environment. Fluid loss performance exceeds the requirements of the OCP UQDB specification.
High-Flow Performance
An optimised internal flow path delivers low flow resistance and high flow capacity, supporting efficient coolant circulation and effective heat transfer.
Connection and Disconnection Under Pressure
Designed to permit coupling and uncoupling while the system is under pressure, providing greater flexibility for servicing and equipment maintenance within the specified operating limits.
Four Available Flow Sizes
The UQDB Series is offered in four equivalent orifice sizes – 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm and 10 mm – enabling customers to select the most suitable configuration for their flow requirements.
Dependable Leak-Tight Performance
Every FITOK UQDB coupling undergoes helium leak testing before shipment, providing additional confidence in product sealing integrity and manufacturing quality.
Product Identification and Traceability
Integrated QR code identification enables convenient product identification and traceability, supporting maintenance, component management and technical documentation.
Flexible Connection Options
A range of connection sizes is available, with customised end connections available upon request to meet specific system requirements.
Applications and Industries
The FITOK UQDB Series is particularly well suited to applications where reliable liquid cooling, compact installation and repeatable fluid connections are essential.
Typical applications include:
- Data Centre Liquid Cooling: Reliable coolant connections within high-density server installations and rack-mounted cooling infrastructure.
- High-Performance Computing (HPC): Supporting effective thermal management in advanced computing environments.
- AI and GPU Cooling Systems: Providing high-performance liquid cooling connections for increasingly demanding processing equipment.
- Direct-to-Chip Cooling Systems: Suitable for integration into engineered liquid cooling assemblies, subject to system compatibility.
- Electronic Equipment Thermal Management: Facilitating reliable fluid connections within compact, sensitive electronic systems.
- Modular Cooling Infrastructure: Supporting systems designed for equipment replacement, servicing and reconfiguration.
Why Choose the FITOK UQDB Series?
Reliable liquid cooling depends upon more than coolant flow alone. Every connection must deliver consistent sealing performance, dependable operation and compatibility with the wider system.
The FITOK UQDB Series brings these essential characteristics together in a purpose-designed coupling solution.
By combining precise self-alignment, exceptionally low fluid loss, high flow capacity and robust construction, FITOK offers a connection technology that meets the evolving requirements of modern thermal management infrastructure.
The series has also achieved OCP Accepted™ recognition, reflecting its alignment with industry-recognised open computing requirements.
