Data Center Power Systems & Solutions

When setup speed is essential, plug-and-play expedites system installations.

Faster data center deployment

Nowhere in the world is the bar higher for efficiency than a new data center. There’s always the pressure to get online in record time. Every week, every day, every hour they’re not online, millions of dollars are at risk.

The growth of technologies like Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing rely on racks of servers to power their innovative impact. From 2022 to 2023 alone, data centers saw a 55% increase in energy consumption*, and the first half of 2023 saw the largest amount of data center construction in history.**

With the demand for new data centers showing no signs of slowing, HARTING's portfolio of power equipment and connectivity solutions helps get data centers online sooner and stay online more reliably.

Optimize your data center power systems

Server rack power solution

To help data centers go online quickly, Harting took the lead in launching the connector-based rack power distributor (rPDU) and was invited to write the Power Shelf power input connector specification for the Open Compute Project (OCP).

Benefits:

Shorten time to market by eliminating hardwired power distribution units (PDUs).
Connecting the input power harness to the Power Shelf eliminates the need for a gPDU, thereby eliminating potential points of failure and improving installation efficiency.
This universal design can be used around the world, helping to achieve supply chain efficiencies.
The input connector can also be reused when upgrading IT racks, making replacement faster, reducing costs and protecting the environment.

Plug and play lighting system stem

Lighting systems can be installed in seconds, reducing reliance on skilled labor.

From IT racks to building management systems, data center time to market can be shortened by using connector-based system connections. Their practice in lighting systems has allowed them to discover the advantages of using connectors instead of hard-wired systems.

Advantages:

Connected lighting systems reduce reliance on skilled labor.
Light fixtures are wired up in seconds, as opposed to hours with a hard-wired system.

Compact network connection

Compact network equipment leaves more space for computing equipment. RJ45 is much larger than it needs to be! Data centers are choosing higher density network components, using smaller connectors to free up more space for computing equipment.
Advantages:

ix industrial is an alternative to RJ45, enabling higher density data connections in the same space.
With this high density connection, data centers can increase profitability by increasing the data output per IT rack.

Connecting to building management systems

Connectorized building management systems maximize efficiency and speed installation
Benefits:

Connectorizing building management systems exponentially speeds installation
Quickly replace components, eliminating downtime and lost revenue
Reduces reliance on skilled labor

Simplify rack maintenance, improve uptime with quick fuse replacement.

NEW! Han® Protect for Control Cabinets

The new Han® Protect connector enables simplified fuse replacement by moving connections to outside the control cabinet — eliminating the need for costly, specialized labor.

✓ On-connector LED light signals when a fuse is blown
✓ Easily-accessible, integrated fuse for replacement in seconds
✓ Smaller footprint than fuse terminal blocks means smaller control cabinets
✓ Supports sustainability initiatives by requiring less cabinet materials
