Hubbell Solutions for Data Centers
Managing Power & Data as One
Data centers are the very core of modern business environments, supporting all the applications needed to maintain daily communications, transactions, and critical storage and retrieval of information. For years, data center managers considered power and data infrastructures as two separate entities. Today’s emerging applications require faster transmission speed and increased power consumption. As a result, there is now a tremendous need for holistic data center solutions that address both power and data while supporting sustainability through energy efficiency, space utilization, reliability, and uptime.
From the building power source to the cabinet to the work station, Hubbell Wiring Systems has the reliable power and data solutions needed to deliver efficient power, transport critical data, support the latest networking applications and effectively manage high-density equipment to ensure data center sustainability.

Hubbell’s Kellems strain relief grips are designed to secure and support cables, cords, and conduit to prevent strain on terminals and connections. These grips ensure the integrity and longevity of electrical installations by reducing the mechanical stress on cables. Kellems® strain relief grips support power drops from above to help remove obstacles from airflow in plenum spaces. They also reduce waste by eliminating the need for rigid wire management systems and ensure reliable electrical connections through proper strain relief, which reduces costly data center downtime.
Key Features/Benefits:
Durability: Made from high-quality materials like stainless steel, bronze, and aluminum, these grips are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including industrial, commercial, and utility settings.
Ease of Installation: Designed for easy and quick installation, often with a simple grip-and-tighten mechanism.

Range of Sizes: Available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different cable diameters and types.
Deluxe Cord Grips
A deluxe cord grip is a type of strain relief grip. Deluxe cord grips provide additional arc of bend control—rest outside the enclosure to reduce tension on cables, joints and terminals, as well as eliminating damage due to flexing, bending, twisting or vibration. This juncture—often called the rigid fatigue point—is where failures tend to first occur, and Kellems strain relief grips protect the components saving the expense of damaged cables and downtime.
The Kellems Deluxe Cord Grip is a high-quality strain relief device designed to secure and protect electrical cords and cables. These grips are engineered to handle the demands of industrial, commercial, and high-performance environments, including data centers.
Key Features:
- Material: Typically made from stainless steel mesh with aluminum or stainless steel bodies which provide high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it durable and long lasting
- Applications: Used to secure and protect power cords, network cables, and other critical connections in server racks and equipment cabinets.
- Save Time and Money – Increase life and reduce costly downtime where the cable is subjected to bending and flexing
- Flexibility—Readily installed, adjusted, repositioned or removed and reused to accommodate equipment relocation
- Ease of installation—Fittings provide easy attachment to threaded electrical enclosures with no special tools
- Safety—Bushing seals out oil, water and other contaminants that can short out the system which can cause injury or expensive downtime
