Optical modules generate heat that must be removed efficiently and evenly. Microchannel water-cooled plates made from T2 copper provide the solution. These precision components deliver excellent thermal conductivity and uniform cooling but the quality of the welding makes all the difference.
Before welding the individual components of a microchannel plate are separate pieces waiting to become a single functional assembly. The channels are formed but not yet sealed. The plate cannot circulate coolant yet. Precision welding transforms these separate parts into a finished cooling device.


After welding the transformation is complete. Every microchannel is sealed properly. Coolant flows through a network of fine passages that remove heat directly from hot spots. The T2 copper preserves its outstanding thermal conductivity because the welding process does not introduce oxidation or contamination.


Our precision welding ensures reliable performance for optical modules in liquid cooling systems. Each plate delivers uniform cooling across the entire surface preventing thermal gradients that can affect optical performance. The result is stable operation longer component life and dependable heat management.
Whether you are designing high-speed transceivers or advanced optical equipment microchannel water-cooled plates from T2 copper provide the cooling precision you need.
