Data center cabling is the physical foundation of the network. Before servers can communicate, switches can forward traffic, or applications can reach the cloud, equipment has to be connected correctly at the physical layer. For a data center technician, cabling knowledge goes far beyond plugging in an Ethernet cable. It includes understanding copper and fiber,…

In a data center, some of the most important infrastructure practices are also some of the easiest to overlook. Cable bend radius is a perfect example. It simply describes how tightly a cable can be bent without risking physical damage or degrading its intended performance. Think of a cable going around a corner. Instead of…

Artificial intelligence companies are usually compared by model size, benchmark scores, response speed and the number of tokens their systems can process. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas believes the longer-term competition may be determined by a broader efficiency metric: token value per watt per user. In a June 2026 CNBC interview, Srinivas argued that the eventual…

Data centers have become one of the easiest targets in today’s debate over electricity, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure. They consume significant amounts of power, require major investment, and often face opposition from nearby communities. Some of those concerns are reasonable. Large facilities should be built responsibly, follow environmental regulations, and minimize impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.…

The race to build the world’s most powerful AI infrastructure has shifted beyond individual GPUs to complete rack-scale systems that integrate processors, networking, memory, and cooling into a single high-performance platform. Rather than selling standalone accelerators, companies are now engineering entire AI racks capable of training trillion-parameter models and supporting the next generation of reasoning…

Data centers have become one of the most debated pieces of modern infrastructure. Critics often focus on electricity consumption, land use, and local development, but it’s important to remember what these facilities actually do. Every photo uploaded to social media, every cloud document, every AI prompt, every streaming movie, every online purchase, and nearly every…

Intel officially integrated its manufacturing prowess into the Terafab AI chip complex. This initiative, lead by Elon Musk in coordination with SpaceX and Tesla, represents a unified push to scale the production of high-performance processors. By leveraging Intel’s advanced foundry services, the project aims to secure a stable supply of silicon designed specifically for the…

Meta has finalized a massive $60 billion deal with AMD to deploy next‑generation AI accelerators across its global data centers. The agreement marks one of the largest AI infrastructure commitments ever made and signals Meta’s intent to diversify away from Nvidia’s near‑monopoly on AI compute. For AMD, the deal represents a breakthrough in hyperscaler adoption…

SoftBank Group, in a massive public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, has officially broken ground on the “Stargate” AI power and data campus in Piketon, Ohio. Located at a decommissioned uranium enrichment site, the project is staggering in scale: it aims for 10 gigawatts of computing capacity supported by a dedicated $33 billion…

Fiber optic characterization is the comprehensive process of testing and analyzing a fiber optic link or network to evaluate its performance, integrity, and ability to support high-speed data transmission. It involves a series of measurements and diagnostics designed to identify optical impairments, verify design specifications, and ensure that the fiber system meets required industry standards…
