made connectivity with Brand-Rex European-
specific cables for a complete solution,
delivered rapidly.”
The Data Centre Factory includes significant
investment in staff, equipment and IT

to meet the demanding requirements of
data centre managers throughout the
UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The

eviton opened its new Data Centre
Factory at its Glenrothes, Scotland,
facility. The Data Centre Factory
provides data centre managers with bespoke
network infrastructure products, including
pre-terminated cabling and cassette
solutions, with rapid delivery.
“Field terminations can be the most time-
consuming, labour intensive process of cable
installation in a data centre network,” said
Ian Wilkie, Managing Director of Brand-Rex,

a Leviton company. “As data centre systems
grow more complex, using pre-terminated
infrastructure reduces downtime, labour
costs, job site waste and maintenance. When
data centre managers can specify the exact
length, cable type, breakout length and
fibre count for their network, they can cut
installation time by as much as 80%.”
“This investment extends our ability to
support data centre customers across EMEA,”
said Bruno Filio, Vice President of Business
