“Our DataGuard and FlexCool hoses are essential to the performance and reliability of today’s data centers,” said Andreas Gerstenberger, CEO of ContiTech USA and Head of Industrial Solutions Americas, Continental. “As demand for data infrastructure continues to grow, these solutions offer data center operators and builders a smarter, more sustainable way to ensure thermal stability, reduce the risk of failure, and extend equipment life — all while improving energy efficiency and lowering total operating costs.”

Innovative Cooling Solutions

Continental’s new data cooling hoses are designed for various cooling applications, including direct-to-chip single-phase cooling. The product lineup includes:

• FlexCool Blade – Designed for efficient cooling of server chips, this hose features a peroxide-cured EPDM tube and braided reinforcement for exceptional flexibility. Its lightweight construction and thin wall gauge enable easy routing, and it accommodates clamp, push-on, and crimped attachment methods. The hose also meets UL 94 V-0 and HB flame safety standards.
• FlexCool Jumper – This hose transitions cooling fluid from the manifold to individual server blades, offering compatibility with crimped, clamped, and push-on attachment methods. Its peroxide-cured EPDM tube minimizes contamination risks by significantly reducing leaching compared to traditional sulfur-cured hoses. UL 94 V-0 and HB flame-rated covers provide added protection.
• DataGuard – A kink- and twist-resistant source line hose, DataGuard is engineered to deliver a constant supply of coolant to server manifolds. It withstands extreme temperatures and features a peroxide-cured EPDM tube to protect both coolant and equipment integrity. Its cover meets UL 94 V-0 or HB flame safety standards.
• Extremeflex DataGuard – A premium, ultra-flexible and lightweight source line hose, engineered to deliver a constant supply of coolant throughout your data center.  The peroxide-cured tube protects both your coolant and equipment by maintaining fluid purity.  The advanced design allows for an impressive 1:1 bend radius, ensuring easy routing and installation to the server systems.  Our cover is certified to UL 94 HB flame safety standards which provides peace of mind in your high-heat environments.
