Data Center White Space | Legrand United Kingdom

In a panel hosted by Datacentre Solutions Magazine, experts from Legrand and Starline highlighted the growing advantages of track busway systems over traditional power cabling in modern data centers. As AI and high-density computing increase power demands, busways offer a modular, flexible, and scalable solution that adapts quickly to evolving infrastructure needs. 

Key benefits include:

• Overhead modular design with live tap-off units for rapid reconfiguration
• Support for high power loads (up to 1,250 amps) ideal for AI workloads
• 15–30% cost savings compared to PDUs and whips
• Improved airflow and thermal management
• Real-time monitoring via integrated sensors

Experts emphasized that busways are not just for hyperscale facilities; they offer consistent value in all data center sizes, from telecom rooms to edge sites. More than a cabling solution, busways represent a smarter, future-ready approach to power distribution.
