Flex launches modular cooling unit for data center power demands

AUSTIN, Texas - Flex (NASDAQ:FLEX), a $22.15 billion market cap technology solutions provider whose stock has surged over 80% in the past year, introduced its new Modular Rack-Level Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) on Tuesday, designed to support growing computational demands in data centers. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score, suggesting strong operational execution.

The solution, developed by JetCool, a Flex company specializing in liquid cooling technologies, offers scalable cooling capacity from 600 kilowatts to 1.8 megawatts. According to a company press release, the system allows data center operators to deploy between two and six CDUs per rack to match evolving needs for artificial intelligence, high performance computing, and hyperscale workloads.

The modular design enables incremental capacity expansion while preserving rack space. The system operates at 1-1.5 liters per minute per kilowatt to accommodate various hardware configurations.

"With AI and high-performance computing driving unprecedented demand, customers need more than just capacity—they need a partner who can deliver scalability, efficiency, and simplicity across the entire cooling ecosystem," said Rob Campbell, President of Communications, Enterprise, and Cloud Business at Flex.

The product is available immediately with standard and custom manifolding options. Flex plans to expand its cooling portfolio with a dedicated in-row CDU scheduled for release in April 2026.

Flex manufactures all components in-house, which the company states reduces vendor complexity and simplifies procurement and maintenance for data center operators.

The manufacturing company operates across 30 countries, providing technology innovation and supply chain solutions to various industries.
