Bluestar Silicones launches power cable solution for data center computing infrastructure

Bluestar Silicones unveiled its silicone rubber-based solution for data center power cables for the first time at the SMM WCCE 2026 Wire & Cable Industry Development Conference held recently.

With the rapid growth of AI computing power and high-power servers, data centers are placing increasingly stringent requirements on power supply efficiency, reliability, and safety. For high-power AI servers and high-density rack applications, power distribution systems are evolving from traditional AC distribution and low-voltage DC solutions toward higher-voltage DC architectures such as 400V DC, ±400V DC, and 800V DC. This shift helps reduce power conversion stages, lower current loads in high-power transmission, and reduce conductor losses, thereby improving overall system efficiency.

In response to industry standards and market demand, Bluestar Silicones has developed three silicone rubber insulation materials—BLUESIL MF 7260 U FR, MF 7370 U FR, and MF 7370 U FR 02. Designed for high-voltage, high-current, and high-density cabling environments, these products offer improved heat resistance, flame retardancy, electrical insulation reliability, and long-term aging resistance, while maintaining cable flexibility, ease of installation, and a small bending radius. The company is also actively pursuing TUV certification under European standards for data center power cable materials, aiming to become the first enterprise to obtain this certification.
