What it covers

  • Why AI and GPU halls change the cabling workload: denser fibre, MPO trunks and more testing per rack.
  • Where the labour gets tight on a programme: fibre terminators, testers and working supervisors.
  • What a package manager can lock in early: named engineers, cards and inductions, and test kit.
  • Questions to ask any cabling labour supplier before the programme peaks.
