Quality electrical connections

Innovating for over 100 years

One aspect that commonly gets overlooked is installation products for a data center. These can be the key to helping keep a project safe, on time and on budget for a contractor or installer. Like most projects, it begins with grounding and bonding, which is especially important for data centers. Data network traffic has grown over 6x in the past year alone, so data centers need even more ways of managing both power and fiber optic cables. The key to a data center is its continuous operations and with multiple power sources and automated systems, you need secure, quality electrical connections to help ensure continuity. Keep your data center projects on track with the innovations from ABB Installation Products!
