Modern data centers demand infrastructure systems that support extreme cable density, high power loads, rapid expansion, and zero tolerance for downtime. From cable management to airflow containment and structural mounting components, every element must be engineered for performance, durability, and long-term scalability.
Marlin Steel designs and manufactures precision wire mesh cable trays and custom sheet metal fabrications engineered specifically for mission-critical data center environments.
From hyperscale campuses and enterprise facilities, Marlin helps operators improve cooling efficiency, maintain clean cable routing, and adapt quickly as AI and high-performance computing demands accelerate.
Designed and manufactured in the USA using U.S. steel, delivered Quality Engineered Quick®.
As data centers scale to support AI workloads, GPU clusters, liquid cooling systems, and increased rack densities, traditional enclosed cable management systems can restrict airflow and complicate reconfiguration.
Marlin’s open wire cable tray systems and precision sheet metal fabrications are engineered to support:
Our solutions are built to perform today and scale tomorrow.
Open wire construction promotes unrestricted airflow around power, fiber, and data cabling, helping reduce heat buildup and support advanced cooling strategies in high-density server environments.
Improved airflow supports:
Marlin’s engineered wire mesh cable trays for data centers support heavy fiber and power cable bundles while remaining lightweight, reducing structural load and simplifying overhead and underfloor installations.
Ideal for:
Hyperscale and enterprise facilities require continuous infrastructure evolution.
Marlin’s wire mesh trays allow cables to be:
All without major downtime or costly retrofits.
Marlin cable tray systems are engineered to align with industry standards such as NEMA VE 1 load and deflection requirements and NEC Article 392 installation practices, where applicable to project specifications.
Custom sheet metal fabrication for data centers includes containment panels, blanking panels, structural brackets, and enclosure components that support airflow management, equipment mounting, and phased infrastructure expansion in hyperscale environments.
Cable trays are only one component of modern data center builds. Precision sheet metal components play a critical role in airflow control, power distribution, structural support, and equipment mounting throughout the facility.
Marlin manufactures custom laser-cut and formed sheet metal components used for:
In high-density AI and hyperscale environments, airflow management and structural precision directly impact uptime and performance. Tight-tolerance sheet metal fabrication ensures consistent fit, fast installation, and reliable long-term durability.
Marlin operates TRUMPF TruLaser 3000 series laser cutting systems, delivering high-speed, tight-tolerance fabrication ideal for hyperscale data center applications. The TRUMPF TruLaser 3000 platform is optimized for thin-to-medium gauge stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel commonly used in hyperscale data center sheet metal fabrication.
This advanced laser technology allows us to produce:
For hyperscalers and EPC contractors managing aggressive construction schedules, the ability to move from design to full-scale production quickly, without sacrificing quality, is essential.
Unlike suppliers that provide only cable trays or only sheet metal components, Marlin delivers both, engineered to integrate seamlessly.
For hyperscale data center programs, vendor consolidation reduces execution risk. By combining data center cable tray manufacturing and precision sheet metal fabrication under one roof, Marlin ensures dimensional consistency, reduces procurement friction, and simplifies phased expansion across large campuses.
For large-scale data center deployments, integration reduces risk and accelerates execution.
Marlin supports:
We collaborate closely with:
From early-stage layout support through production scale-up, Marlin helps teams meet strict timelines and compliance requirements while maintaining mission-critical reliability.
With Quality Engineered Quick® as our standard, Marlin delivers engineered cable tray and sheet metal solutions that arrive on time, install efficiently, and perform reliably, supporting the uptime and flexibility modern data centers demand.
