LS Cable & System IDC dedicated bus duct, can be installed on the ceiling
Less installation cost (15%) and power consumption (30%) compared to wires


On the 3rd, LS Cable & System launched its first bus duct product for data centers (IDC). The strategy is to expand the market by launching customized products as the IDC market expands due to the government's digital new deal policy.

Bus ducts supply large amounts of power by placing plate-shaped conductors inside a metal box instead of hundreds or thousands of wires.

Because it is installed in an assembly-type manner, it is easier to install and move than wires, and its volume is less than half that of wires, so it is space-efficient. It can also reduce installation costs by more than 15%, so its introduction is increasing, especially in high-rise buildings, apartments, and factories.

Previously, when using wires in server rooms, it was difficult to move and expand servers because bundles of wires had to be connected in a complex manner on the floor. The IDC bus duct developed by LS Cable & System is installed on the ceiling, and the power supply is designed to be portable, so that server power cords can be plugged in directly to the desired location. Power consumption is also about 30% less than that of wires.

LS Cable & System stated, “With the development of 5G, AI, and IoT technologies and the spread of non-face-to-face culture, data usage is increasing, and the movement and expansion of servers have become important,” adding, “We expect the IDC-specific bus duct launched this time to quickly replace imported products.”

In the future, LS Cable & System plans to expand its bus duct target market to new and renewable energy sources such as wind power towers, ships, and drilling ships.
