Bonnie Mack and Terence Graham 1. Introduction Pluggable optics modules, (POMs), such as SFP, QSFP, QSFP+, QSFP28, CFP, CFP2, and CFP4 transceivers, are optical interface devices that are connected to a PCB through ports in the faceplate. A brief description of these modules is given in Table 1. Initially conceived as low power devices, the module power density has increased … [Read more...]
How to Choose the Right Solution for Effective Heat Management
(June 3, 2016) Because electronics have shrunk significantly in recent years, the solutions to cool them must be adjusted. Electropages.com suggests “a case-specific analysis must be performed as each application is subject to different circumstances,” to determine the right strategy for cooling electronics. This analysis is called “CFD analysis,” or computational fluid … [Read more...]
Push for Better Industrial Enclosures Cooling
(May 18, 2016) As the heat produced by electronic components continues to increase, suggestions are made to push for improvement on better managing industrial enclosure temperatures. “Relative to each individual component, the heat of electronic components has increased significantly in recent years,” reported ECNMag.com, “At the same time, the density inside control cabinets … [Read more...]
Laptops May Start Producing Far Less Heat
(May 10, 2016) Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s postdoc Cui-Zu Chang and his colleagues have been “working to create devices with components which have little [to no] resistance to the flow of electricity” in laptops, according to TechRadar.com. Topological insulators, or, “exceptionally thin materials with special properties, which let electrons flow freely across the … [Read more...]
New System Improves Lead Times
A manufacturer of thermoelectric air conditioners, TECA Corporation, has recently implemented a new program to improve lead times. President of TECA, Mike Mikalauskis, said, "We were able to pair new software with a more streamlined production system. This will enable our customers to be more competitive when quoting jobs using our air conditioners." TECA further announced … [Read more...]
