Data centers
Digitalization increases the volume of data traffic, which increases the demand for data centers. Data centers have become a decisive element for the operating of a smart modern society.
As the number of data centers increases, so do the requirements for their power infrastructure. Energy availability, reliability, safety and environmental impact must be considered from the earliest stages of project planning. Power infrastructure and cabling form a strategic foundation for a data center, affecting its reliability and performance throughout its entire lifecycle.
Cables, cable accessories and related services are an essential part of this foundation. It is not simply about selecting individual products, but about choosing solutions that support efficient installation, ensure the reliability of the power network and meet future needs.
Reliability throughout the project
Reka Cables’ cables are designed and manufactured in Finland, with their quality verified in our own testing laboratories. Our cables carry the Key Flag Symbol as a mark of Finnish origin, and they are manufactured using electricity generated without direct CO₂ emissions.
Local production and expertise, combined with Nexans’ global resources, support security of supply, quick response and effective risk management throughout the project.

Why aren’t data centers built with cables alone?
Halogen free flame retardant cables for a large data center project
Electrical contractor Kirby Group Engineering asked Reka Cables for a tender for a large-scale project in 2018. The project was a major data center located in Finland, for which Kirby Group Engineering needed a skilled cable supplier
Halogen-free cables for data centers
The operations of data centres must be secured with uninterrupted power supply on each day of the year, these standards set high requirements for the quality and properties of cables. Data centres must also remain operational during a fire.
Cables used in data centers must be halogen-free. Reka’s halogen-free cables are especially suited for installations where, due to safety, it is essential that alarm, control, signal and energy supply systems function even during a fire. The amount of smoke generated during fires by Reka’s halogen-free cables is low and they do not spread fire in bundles, so they can be used in premises where evacuation is challenging. The quality of our cables plays an important role in the reliability, safety and longevity of data centers.
