This high-level white paper serves as a reference for wire and cable/conductor selection in data centers of all types and sizes. It highlights some of the performance, reliability, safety, and compliance factors to consider when specifying and installing these components in data center environments.
In facilities where the ability to maintain continuous operation with minimal downtime is essential, the supporting electrical infrastructure must meet rigorous electrical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental requirements. Energy efficiency and scalability also depend on selecting and installing wire and cable systems that withstand the demanding conditions of modern data centers.
This document is intended to provide general guidance and shall not be considered all-inclusive. It does not purport to address all products, conditions, applications, or exceptional scenarios that may arise in specific data center environments.
