AI is rapidly transforming data center infrastructure, demanding upgrades in power, fiber, and cooling. To support AI workloads, operators must consider high-density fiber cabling, increased power needs per rack, and advanced cooling like direct-to-chip or rear door heat exchangers. Panduit recommends Base-8 fiber, intelligent PDUs, and scalable solutions to meet growing demands. While copper remains for low-speed tasks, fiber dominates high-speed connectivity. AI infrastructure requires careful planning, training vs. inferencing considerations, and future-proofing through flexible, efficient designs that support evolving AI applications.
