Evolution of Industry Demands

 

Anderson Power has a long history of creating connectors for both high power and data-driven applications. Since many of our products include locking mechanisms and other features that become elementally useful in the field, Pactech saw the value in creating a relationship with a brand well-known and well-trusted in the marketplace, helping both companies gain more traction by providing their customers with more comprehensive superior solutions.

 

Pactech immediately understood the unique specifications and reliability of Anderson Power products and focused on bringing a comprehensive solution to customers looking for high power solutions that suited a specific need: whether it be custom lengths, jacket colors, LSZH jackets, or labeling. Pactech uses Anderson Power connectors in a range of customer solutions due to their:

  1. Reliability and straightforward application
  2. Connection security
  3. Ease of use.

 

The Pactech target clientele remains in the data center and tech industries and locking power solutions are quite often in their list of needs. Working with Anderson Power helped diversify their already-existing product offerings and increased their ability to help new and long-term customers alike. The relationship has even increased their customer retention rate, since it has eliminated the need for customers to source various suppliers for different items, and instead see Pactech as a “one-stop-shop.”

As Anderson Power established itself a brand name that attracted all variety of customers in the verticals Pactech serviced, they decided to become specialists in our product offerings. They now choose to even keep an extensive stock of Anderson Power products on hand to meet their customers urgent power connectivity demands, further decreasing lead-times to their clientele. Anderson Power supplies Pactech with high-quality connectors which are mated with ultra-flexible cables, creating an extremely useful plug-and-play product for businesses to implement specifically in (but not limited to) data centers.

The communication between the two companies has been seamless. Through a developing relationship, Pactech was able to gain a deep understanding of Anderson Power product offerings. When combined with their expertise in customizing cables, they were able to offer complete data and power transmission solutions to customers with specific need

Both businesses are flexible and highly adaptable, so the collaboration between the two has resulted in highly innovative and effective solutions for their customers. When a customer comes to Pactech with a specific need, they engage Anderson Power and have an in-depth discussion about how they can:

  • Create the appropriate custom solution
  • Meet the customers’ demands
  • Keeping the process viable & efficient

THE BENEFIT

By allowing up to 30A and 600V DC or AC within the same space as a commonly used IEC320 system (typically limited to 10A and 250VAC), the SDG connector was able to notably increase the wattage capability without increasing space demands for the customer.
