Abstract
A device for constraining liquid cooling tubes may include connecting a first tube connector and a second tube connector with a stretchable strip of flexible material. The first tube connector is configured to fluidly seal to a first end of a liquid cooling tube, and the second tube connector is configured to fluidly seal to a second end of the liquid cooling tube. The device may also include connecting the first tube connector to a first manifold and connecting the second tube connector to a second manifold when a computing device in a rack is in operation. The device may also include disconnecting the first tube connector to the first manifold and the second tube connector to the second manifold. The first tube connector and the second tube connector are constrained by the stretchable strip of flexible material when the computing device is moved out of the rack.
