The Pivoting Blind Mate Coupling (PBMC) is an Open Compute Project (OCP) standardized liquid cooling quick disconnect designed to remove the mechanical and tolerance barriers that limit liquid cooling at scale without sacrificing performance or interoperability.
PBMC enables high-flow, low-impedance blind mating while tolerating significant misalignment and mate distance variation commonly found in modular and rack scale deployments..
The dual pivot plug and socket design allows the quick disconnect bodies, not the hoses, to absorb misalignment from tolerance stacking, improving reliability, and system scalability..
The Open Compute Project is a collaborative community dedicated to designing and developing standardized solutions for data center infrastructure. Within this ecosystem, companies like SafeWay, have played a pivotal role in designing a standard spec to be used industry wide.
PBMC
- Pivoting bodies on plug and socket
- Designed to accommodate large radial and angular misalignment and mate difference
- Enables reliable, tool-less connections
- Multiple attachment options
