Data centers are facing extraordinary demands to deploy infrastructure to support AI and other high-compute applications as quickly as possible, with only slight delays capable of throwing a wrench into carefully laid plans. Legrand is taking steps to help avoid costly setbacks with its new Fiber Express Ship Program.
This rapid-response, next-day shipping program provides expedited distribution of patch cords and trunks, ensuring data centers of all sizes have fast access to critical products to keep their multi-million dollar projects on pace.
Data center operators are under tremendous pressure to fast-track their buildouts, and they need the correct foundational connectivity equipment to achieve their goals on time. But the complexity of data center designs today increases the chances a detail will be overlooked, which can bring high-stakes deployments to a halt. The Fiber Express Ship Program features certain patch cords and trunks that allow operators to fill in gaps as they emerge as projects progress.
“Building a data center takes months of planning and involves numerous team members who have varying responsibilities all leading up to the time of deployment. It’s inevitable that some things will get overlooked at some point in the process,” said Sabrina Snyder, VP/General Manager of Legrand’s Data Infrastructure division. “When those lapses occur, our customers cannot wait a week or two to get the right patch cords or trunks. They need immediate access so they can keep their projects moving forward. The Fiber Express Ship Program is part of Legrand’s goal of supporting customers when they need it most — it’s about turning a potential roadblock into just another day on the job.”
Legrand’s line of patch cords is engineered to provide seamless connectivity between devices. The trunks are available in a variety of configurations, ideal for data center and IT applications requiring high bandwidth. The Fiber Express Ship Program is indicative of Legrand’s commitment to being a true partner for data center operators of all sizes as the industry continues to evolve.
