Mexico. Every day, companies have a greater need to have a solid and sophisticated connectivity infrastructure, which allows them to respond to current technological challenges.
This infrastructure is comparable to the tires of a car: because, although the vehicle is the most powerful and luxurious, without them it will not be able to move. In this sense, connectivity infrastructure is vital for companies and, according to Panduit, investment in infrastructure only represents between 5% and 7% of total investment in technology projects.
For companies, tires are copper and fiber optic solutions because this is where information travels and everything that happens on the network is mobilized. Despite having state-of-the-art devices, if the network does not work properly, all its benefits will be lost.
Copper solutions, for example, are not only responsible for transmitting data, but also for supplying the energy needed for the devices to function. Products such as Panduit's are able to fulfill both functions through a single cable, guaranteeing international quality standards. For its part, fiber optics stands as the backbone of the network infrastructure, serving as the "highway" through which information circulates at high speed.
In Mexico, digital transformation and the implementation of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence have driven the evolution of data centers. This has led to a rethink of network design to meet growing technological demands. According to data from the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), Mexico ranks third in number of Mobile Broadband lines, with 112.1 million, only surpassed by the United States, with 586.9 million, and Japan, with 245.5 million.
As a global leader in technology infrastructure, Panduit has developed copper and fiber cabling solutions with smaller diameters and exceptional performance, optimizing the physical footprint in the facility and simplifying the installation process.
"At Panduit, we work to anticipate the needs of our customers, which is why we develop solutions that save up to 48% of space in telecommunications rooms, a crucial aspect in data centers," says Juan Pablo Borray, business development manager for Panduit Latin America.
In the words of the executive, uncontrolled density and congestion in the cable duct are two of the most severe enemies of a data center because they not only restrict the flow of cooling air, but can also prevent future expansion and generate serious effects on the MACs (movements, additions and changes).
During 2024, the company has invested about 6% of its revenues in research and development of new solutions that better respond to market needs every day.
"One of the benefits of working with Panduit is the breadth of product offerings, not only in cabling, but also in other elements that are needed to make the correct deployments such as racks, cabinets and routing system. Here you will find end-to-end solutions, facilitating the entire purchase and installation process," concludes Juan Pablo Borray.
In addition, with pre-connectorized solutions, companies not only experience a reduction in installation times, but also in operating costs, as less labor is required, which optimizes network commissioning and improves corporate finances.
In a changing world, the adaptability and capacity for innovation on the part of manufacturers is vital for the development of projects by companies, to stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive digital environment.
