Meeting the Demands of Modern AI-Driven Data Center Infrastructure with Advanced Polymer Cable Solutions

As global demand for data centers increases, operators are under pressure to deliver more power and data in less space, adapt to rising power demands, and support higher data rates. These challenges are especially pronounced in AI-driven data centers, where high-density environments and next-generation workloads push cable infrastructure to new limits. Avient offers advanced materials solutions developed to help data centers worldwide overcome these critical challenges.

Fire Safety for High-Density Data Centers

Fire safety is a top concern in today’s data centers, particularly as rack densities increase. Avient’s ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen (LSFOH) formulations are engineered to meet strict international fire safety standards, including the Construction Products Regulation EN50575. These materials can deliver excellent flame-retardant performance while reducing smoke density, toxicity, and corrosiveness — helping protect both equipment and personnel in the event of a fire.

Enabling next-generation data speeds and signal integrity

AI workloads demand rapid data transfer and robust signal integrity. Avient’s pre-colored fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) solutions and advanced materials for Cat8, twinax, and high-speed interconnect cables enable thin-wall insulation and high-speed processing. These innovations provide copper conductor insulation, securing high-speed data transfer.

Supporting sustainability and the circular economy

Sustainability is a core focus for Avient. The company’s Cesa™ Nox A4R antioxidant technology and Cesa™ Unify™ compatibilizer are developed to enhance recycling and support the use of recycled content in cable manufacturing. These solutions help data centers meet their sustainability commitments and contribute to the circular economy — enabling the use of recycled materials without sacrificing performance.

Global Impact and Local Relevance

Avient’s advanced cable solutions address worldwide trends in data center growth, making them relevant for operators and manufacturers across regions, including North America and Europe. By focusing on fire safety, next-generation data speeds, and sustainability, Avient helps data centers stay ahead of evolving industry demands.
