Molex announced a strategic investment in CAEPlus Inc.

Molex announced a strategic investment in CAEPlus Inc., an early-stage company focused on the development of active liquid cooling technology designed to help data centers manage increasing heat loads driven by AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. This investment advances Molex’s Data Center Thermal Management strategy by accelerating the innovation of CAEPlus’ BoundaryCool platform, a compact, active cooling architecture that addresses next gen GPU/ASIC thermal challenges. 

The strategic collaboration will support continued advancements across the BoundaryCool platform, engineered to deliver significantly higher heat transfer performance and greater reductions in CPU/GPU/TPU chip temperatures compared to passive cold plate solutions while remaining compatible with legacy data center architectures. The addition of CAEPlus technology to Molex’s comprehensive thermal management portfolio offers data center customers a broader range of solutions engineered to address the most demanding computing requirements.

As part of the agreement, Molex retains exclusive licensing to apply CAEPlus technology to the Molex portfolio of pluggable I/O solutions. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
