Gates Launches Data Master Hose for Data Center Cooling

DENVER, Sept. 10, 2024 — Power transmission and fluid power product maker Gates (NYSE: GTES) announced the launch of the Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose.

This fluid conveyance solution, a result of Gates Eco-Innovation process, is intended for data center liquid cooling applications driven by compute-intensive applications such as artificial intelligence.

This addition to Gates’ fluid conveyance portfolio has been engineered for flexibility and increased compactness, providing easier and more efficient assembly, routing, and handling, all important requirements in the footprint-constrained data center market. Data Master hoses meet key industry application requirements, including the UL94V-0 and VW-1 flame resistance standards, and feature specialty-compounded materials that ensure cleanliness throughout the system, limiting fluid contamination which leads to fewer data center operational disruptions and maximizes uptime.

“As the demand for high-performance data centers grows, so too does the need for reliable, liquid cooling solutions that ensure optimal performance of IT infrastructure,” said Michael Haen, Gates vice president of product line management and global marketing. “Our new Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose is built upon our expertise in materials science, thermal management, and fluid conveyance across mission-critical applications. As a proud member of the Open Compute Project (OCP) we will stay close to the constantly evolving requirements in data center applications, and will continue to focus our investments in innovative technologies to meet the evolving needs of data centers worldwide.”

The Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose will be globally available in the fourth quarter of 2024.
