High-End Data Storage and Server Systems
With the rapid introduction of new technologies into the market place and continued global economic expansion, businesses and institutions require increasingly more powerful systems to handle both their growing usage of electronic information as well as the data-intensive applications required to manipulate the information.

As the demand for more powerful, large scale systems continues to increase, the associated power requirements for those systems is also increasing. For large scale mission-critical systems, HARTING Han® connectors are the perfect solution for use as the main power connection as well as for distributing power and signal internal to the system.
Today, HARTING connectors are utilized as the connector of choice for the main power source by some of the world’s largest producers of data storage and server systems. Connectorization at the power source allows suppliers to provide standardized, internationally accepted power cables with the units, rather than worry about hard wiring special power cables dependent on where the end customer is located.
HARTING connectors provide a high amperage connection in a foot print much smaller than that of traditional circular power connectors that become very large for applications requiring over 30A. Because HARTING connectors are available globally, they are the perfect choice for suppliers of large systems with global manufacturing locations.
