US 12,738,394 B2 · Data and power cables suitable for immersion cooling

Abstract

A sealed cable assembly includes a jacket enclosing a plurality of insulated wires. Each insulated wire includes a bare wire covered by surrounding insulation, and a cable plug or connector is electrically connected with the bare wires. A sealant surrounds the insulated wires in an air gap between the jacket and the insulated wires in a location at or near the cable plug or connector, and the sealant fills the air gap at the location to prevent or reduce fluid loss through the cable in an immersion cooling system. The cable assembly can also be sealed at an in-between section away from the cable plug or connector. The cable assembly is wrapped with a weatherproof film or tape at the location of the sealing to further prevent or reduce fluid loss through the cable.

Dependent claims

A sealed cable assembly, comprising:

a jacket enclosing a plurality of insulated wires and including an air gap between the jacket and the insulated wires, wherein the insulated wires each comprise a bare wire covered by a surrounding insulation;
and
a sealant surrounding the insulated wires in the air gap between the jacket and the insulated wires in a location along the jacket, and away from a terminating end of the sealed cable assembly, wherein the sealant fills the air gap at the location, but the air gap outside of the location is left unfilled;
wherein the sealed cable assembly has at least one plug or connector on at least one end of the sealed cable assembly connected to at least one of the bare wires, and wherein the sealant is present on at least one wire at a location near the plug or connector, but not within the plug or connector.
