Data centers – Prysmian is the world’s one-stop shop

Data centers are expanding across the world, and Prysmian helps them grow quickly.

While energy and digital infrastructures follow different procurement flows and involve different stakeholders, Prysmian stands out for its ability to address the full spectrum of Data Center needs. From energy solutions (LV, MV and HV cables, interconnectors, grid connections and more), to digital infrastructure (fiber optic cables with multiple fiber counts, connectivity solutions and advanced transmission technologies) Prysmian can provide comprehensive support across design, installation and post-sales services.

Our clients benefit from the fact that data centers stand at the crossroads of digitalization and energy, two of Prysmian’s core sectors. From generating and delivering clean power to enabling high-speed connectivity, Prysmian supports every critical layer of data center development.

It’s a matter of speed & service – the Encore Wire story

The United States is a world leader in the creation and expansion of data centers. Major projects are springing up across the country, driving intense demand for efficient, reliable and above all fast service for electrical cables.

The facilities set up in Texas by Encore Wire, a Prysmian company, play a decisive role in meeting this demand. Thanks to large-scale production capacity, streamlined operations and proximity to key markets, Encore Wire is able to guarantee some of the shortest delivery lead times in the industry, an essential advantage for developers working against tight construction schedules.

Hollow core fiber – efficiency is the name of the game

Prysmian set the standard for fiber optic technology back in the 1970s and 1980s. Now the group is ready for the next step: hollow core fiber.

Hollow core fiber can transmit data up to 50% faster and 1.5 times further than conventional fiber optic cables. They represents a major breakthrough not only for hyperscale data centers but especially for DCIs (Data Center Interconnections), the high-capacity links connecting multiple data centers across regions.

By reducing latency and increasing transmission distance, hollow core technology enhances operational efficiency and supports a growing need for seamless, high-performance connectivity between facilities.

Fast connections to a growing grid

Data centers consume vast amounts of energy, creating a dual challenge: increasing generation capacity while also ensuring fast, reliable grid connections.

Prysmian is a global leader in power grid solutions, with deep knowledge of local territories, regulatory frameworks and utility requirements. We are experts at connecting data centers to the grid quickly and efficiently, often faster than other market players.

From high-voltage and medium-voltage cable systems to engineered grid connection solutions, we combine technical excellence with execution speed, helping developers reduce time to power and accelerate project timelines.

20,000 leagues under the sea? Prysmian is there.

Data centers and large-scale cloud services continuously exchange data—and that conversation does not stop at the water’s edge.

With major rollouts of both medium- and long-haul subsea telecom projects underway and in planning, the volume of data flowing under the oceans continues to grow. Prysmian is a leading player in submarine cable manufacturing, and with Xtera, a Prysmian company, we have further strengthened our position through advanced repeater technology.

Together, this combination of manufacturing expertise and transmission technology enables Prysmian to design, install, protect and maintain the fundamental pathways supporting the planet’s digital ecosystem.
