Structured & Power Cabling
Power and structured data cabling that wires racks, PDUs and switches together across the white space.

Wires racks, PDUs and switches together across the white space - the physical layer connecting every other system inside the building.
Why it matters
Fit-out quality and cabling density determine how quickly a shell can be turned into live, revenue-generating white space.
Where the value pool sits
Cable makers earn volume-driven revenue tied directly to white-space square footage built out, with repeat business as campuses expand in phases.
Key drivers
- White-space buildout pace
- Rack density - more cabling per rack as compute density rises
- Structured-cabling standard upgrades
Potential bottlenecks
- Copper price volatility feeding directly into cable costs
- Fit-out pace lagging shell construction
- Fire-safety and cabling-standard compliance adding cost and time
Investor metrics to watch
- Volume growth vs. price-driven growth
- Working-capital intensity tied to copper inventory
- DC-specific order visibility, usually undisclosed
