Center Builds — Legrand's Fiber Express Ship Program Promises to Keep Them Moving
As operators seek to fast-track their buildouts and ensure their facilities are outfitted with the correct, foundational connectivity equipment, even small missteps can grind high-stakes deployments to a halt. The more complex a design, the more likely a detail is overlooked. Featuring certain patch cords and trunks, Fiber Express Ship Program can quickly fill in gaps that emerge as data center deployments get underway.
"Building a data center takes months of planning and involves numerous team members who have varying responsibilities all leading up to the time of deployment. It's inevitable that some things will get overlooked at some point in the process," said Sabrina Snyder, VP/General Manager of Legrand's Data Infrastructure division. "When those lapses occur, our customers cannot wait a week or two to get the right patch cords or trunks. They need immediate access so they can keep their projects moving forward. Fiber Express Ship Program is part of Legrand's goal of supporting customers when they need it most — it's about turning a potential roadblock into just another day on the job."
Legrand's line of patch cords is engineered to provide seamless connectivity between devices. The trunks are available in a variety of configurations, perfect for data center and IT applications where high bandwidth is required.
Fiber Express Ship Program is much more than a logistics play — it's a strategic shift in how infrastructure providers can support their customers. As global economic uncertainties rise and deployment windows tighten, this initiative reflects Legrand's commitment to being a true partner for data center operators of all sizes in our fast-evolving era.
