FINAL WORD
Some customers have fully embraced open compute early on whereas others are testing their shelf environment carefully – and both approaches are acceptable. Generally, what matters is investing in that architecture which requires having the right cabinet, busbar and power shelves needed, while being comfortable with safety and easing into it.
This is where Legrand can assist – our trusted advisors work with clients to understand their needs and deliver the right solutions required for their business. Our on-hand product suite allows customers to visualise, test and evaluate what is best for them. For customers who aren’ t yet comfortable or fully on board, our mission is to help them understand the technology and review it together.
As racks incorporate more PDUs, higher-current busbars and denser power layouts, what new challenges emerge in physically integrating that much power into a single rack?
The busbars in a typical high-density application are around 70 – 80 lb. They are also located at the back of the cabinet where it’ s very crowded. So,
