In July, DCPacket—the leading deployer of digital electricity (DE) in data centers and AI factories across the U.S. and Canada—partnered with Cameron Connect to supply cable for Fault Managed Power (FMP) distribution deployments. At this year’s BICSI Conference in Las Vegas, the two companies will share a booth to showcase the partnership from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2.
Cameron supplies the cables behind DCPacket’s product portfolio, which together can cut installation costs by up to 50% and detect faults in real time, supporting hyperscale AI with sustainable infrastructure.
A statement on DCPacket’s website reads: “This partnership strengthens DCPacket’s supply chain for the specialized, limited energy cable required in fault managed power distribution—supporting reliable, on-time delivery as DCPacket scales its AI Micro Data Center and critical infrastructure deployments across North America.”
FMP’s Potential in Data Centers
AI workloads are pushing data centers toward higher power density and faster buildout timelines than ever before. The most common power source in data centers—alternating current (AC) power—struggles to maintain peak performance because it wastes energy during voltage and frequency conversions. Its cables also take up unnecessary space.
Direct current (DC) power has historically been avoided in data centers due to safety concerns—it has not been able to maintain high voltages safely and requires bulky protective hardware. FMP changes that equation, combining real-time fault management with digitally controlled distribution to improve both safety and efficiency.
FMP takes on three core challenges in data center power distribution:
- Wasted energy: Reduces physical material and increases power density, allowing operators to distribute more power in the same footprint.
- Human safety risks: Shuts down power in less than a second after detecting a short circuit or human touch.
- Limited space: Eliminates the need to overbuild capacity upfront, letting infrastructure scale with demand rather than in anticipation of it.
“As Cameron Connect further establishes itself as a trusted supply partner in the FMP landscape, the partnership with DCPacket is critical,” says Tom Stone, National Sales Director of Critical Infrastructure at Cameron Connect. “Supporting DCPacket’s Fault Managed Power solution suite with our Class 4 cable inventory allows both organizations to deliver maximum value to the marketplace.”
FMP backs every AI Micro Data Center deployment from DCPacket.
A Closer Look at DCPacket’s AI Micro Data Centers
Hyperscale, gigawatt AI campuses are becoming harder to power, permit, and site in local communities. In response, DCPacket builds data centers that are smaller, modular, and fully automated. They can run on standard available power, create minimal community friction, and can be deployed in weeks once they’re funded.
This model avoids the common challenges that traditional, hyperscale data centers face:
- Excessive power and water demands
- Siting and permitting delays in rural and suburban areas
- Community resistance, leading to stalled or stranded projects
- Limited vendors for hyperscale-specific builds
