As a former data center facilities manager, I would like to share some insight that I have learned over the years in regards to power whips and floor grommets that I used from PDU Cables. I used over 3000 power whips in my three sites (100K each). I also saved money purchasing these whips instead of having an electrical contractor build them. They are Hi-Pot tested; UL listed and come in 11 different colors. Please take a look at the Air-Guard grommets as well. If you are familiar with the Koldlok you will be happy to know our product comes in a greater variety of sizes and options, and are less expensive. If you would like samples let me know and we will send them to your site [both product information brochures are attached]. I will also be happy to offer my help on any projects or issues you may be dealing with in your data centers. I have enjoyed and have had great success with PDU cables that I am now working with them, as a Sales Engineer; sharing the knowledge I have gained over the years-now during my retirement. I have overseen the planning and building of all three of Thomson Reuter’s data centers as well as upgrading two of them to triple the watts per square foot. I also was an Uptime Institute member with 12 year awards of continuous uptime in my data centers. I would love the opportunity to speak with you. Please feel free to call me if you care to bounce anything off of me. Best Regards I would like to introduce myself to you, my name is Ken Koty former data center facilities manager (30 plus years) for the Thomson Reuters data centers in Eagan MN.
