Where Stäubli sits in the stack
Stäubli's placements in this catalog cover 2 parts, all in layer 5, liquid cooling (it-side: chip to cdu). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Rack manifolds — The manifold (sometimes called a CDM) that distributes coolant from the CDU supply line to each cold plate in a rack and collects the return flow, usually mounted vertically at the rear or side of the rack.
- Quick disconnects — Blind-mate connectors (UQD or UQDB) that let a compute tray or cold plate be connected to or disconnected from the coolant manifold without draining or spilling the loop.
