In this episode of the Nassau National Cable Podcast, we explore the procurement and supply chain side of building large AI data centers. From long manufacturing lead times and specialty cable requirements to rapidly evolving GPU power demands, we discuss why cable procurement must start early and how supplier relationships can make or break a project timeline.

This episode breaks down why the electrical infrastructure that works perfectly well in a conventional facility simply isn't built to handle massive power loads and zero tolerance for interruption. It also talks about what engineers and procurement teams need to think about differently when it comes to cables and infrastructure design when building for one.
