Zhaolong 34AWG Ultra-Fine Network Patch Cords: The Ideal Solution for High-Density Data Center Cabling

2025–2026: A Pivotal Phase for Green Data Center Development

As the digital economy enters a stage of in-depth development, the large-scale construction of computing infrastructure has accelerated markedly. Industry data shows that China’s intelligent computing capacity exceeded 1590 EFLOPS in 2025, and data center architecture is evolving from standalone deployments to large-scale 10,000-card clusters.

Against this backdrop, energy consumption and carbon management have become core concerns for the data center industry.

At the annual China’s Central Economic Work Conference in December 2025, authorities emphasized advancing green and low-carbon transformation under the dual-carbon goals, imposing strict requirements on high-energy-consumption projects. As critical digital infrastructure, data centers must pursue greater energy efficiency and sustainability.
