Comprehensive cable infrastructure for data centres

Speed, capacity, reliability.  The three essential performance requirements for data centres around the world: all delivered only with effective cable systems.

 

Prysmian is the world leader in the development and manufacture of power and telecommunication cables. Our portfolio provides the wrap-around cable infrastructure for data centre facilities. 

 

High voltage power cable supports operational and cooling needs; High speed data transmission cables handle immense bandwidth in miniature fibre optic cables; ducting, racks and components provide orderly and safe cable management. With manufacturing, customer service and technical support teams right here in the UK, Prysmian offers local expertise supported by global excellence.

The Whitespace telecom cabling solution

Right at the heart of the data centre is the home of our Universal Cabling System (UC). This range of structured cabling products includes pre-terminated copper and fibre optic cables, patch panels and connectivity components, providing optimal performance with reduced latency. Designed for quick and easy installation, UC Connect creates scaleable installations that can be reconfigured fast to meet changing customer needs.  Available from stock for fast turnaround, or designed to individual specification, the UC Connect range gives great flexibility.

The Meet Me Room Cabling Solution

This critical area of a data centre needs accurate cable management with optimal use of limited space. With the recent acquisition of network connectivity specialist Warren and Brown, Prysmian has added optical fibre ducting and Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs) to its data centre portfolio. The move has also increased the options for subracks and fibre patch panels. A bespoke design service will provide detailed layouts and component lists for fully CPR compliant duct raceways within 72 hours.

The data centre interconnect solution

High density fibre optic cables provide seamless connection of units within a data centre campus, interconnections between cities or long-haul international interconnectors. 

 

The Sirocco range of miniature air-blown cables give record-breaking fibre density in minimal cable diameter, making the most of existing duct infrastructure. FlexRibbon, with high counts of bend-insensitive fibre combines high packing density with mass fusion splicing. Just two of the high-performance fibre optic cables designed and manufactured by Prysmian. 

 

For international communication routes, Prysmian installs, monitors and maintains subsea cable networks and recently (Jan 2025) announced significant investment in this important international service.

Consistent High voltage power for data centres

The increased processing capacity required by AI and the consequent need for cooling, means modern data centres are power hungry, needing ever more energy with an absolute focus on uninterrupted supply. 

 

Our medium voltage cable, manufactured in Prysmian factories to individual project specification, connects high energy facilities to the UK power grid. Our engineers will design the cabling solution and our installation teams will handle all the logistics and civil engineering needed, including the specialist skills required to join the cable to the national network. 

 

Additional security is provided by our sophisticated PRY-CAM monitoring system designed to flag discrepancies in power delivery before they affect performance. Our 24/7 response team is then on hand to ensure any issues are resolved quickly.

CPR compliant low voltage cable for all data centre energy needs

Prysmian has been manufacturing low voltage cable for over 100 years. For data centres we supply low voltage building wires in accordance with the stringent CPR requirement for minimum contribution to fire, including the additional performance required by classes Dca, Cca and B2ca.  These cables are manufactured in our own quality-controlled facilities using the required low smoke zero halogen material. 

 

Our building wires are tested and compliant to all appropriate British and European standards with a guarantee of consistent product quality you can rely on. Specialist Fire Performance cable (our FP range) supports essential safety services with the fixings and components required to build a comprehensive fire safe power supply.

The comprehensive cable offer available today is the result of 140 years of experience and continuous investment in research and development. With the needs of our customers first and foremost, our world-leading engineering and design expertise is ready to support the transformation of information and energy distribution.
