Inside the hall, every megawatt needs medium-voltage switchgear, UPS, busway and power distribution. A handful of makers supply most of it and backlogs have grown with AI campuses.

Switchgear→UPS→Busway / PDU→Rack

What would prove us wrong. Weakens if electrical-equipment backlogs start shrinking while data-center starts hold up.

Rack densities above ~100kW make direct-to-chip liquid cooling the default. CDUs, cold plates and heat rejection scale with GPU power.

Cold plate→CDU→Facility loop→Heat rejection

What would prove us wrong. Weakens if air-cooled designs reclaim high-density AI halls.
