Hyperscale data center, Greater Toronto Area
Cross-referenced 1,000+ imported tray-cable connectors to CSA-certified equivalents, matched line-for-line, so the electrical contractor kept the colocation build on its inspection schedule.

Hazardous-Location & Heavy-Duty Connectors for Data Centers
Certified connectors, glands and enclosures for hyperscale and colocation builds — matched line-for-line, delivered on schedule.
Ex Solutions supplies and cross-references certified tray-cable connectors, cable glands and enclosures for hyperscale and colocation data-center construction — matching imported or specified parts to CSA-certified equivalents and delivering them at the volume and pace a build demands.
The challenge
Data-center construction runs on schedule and certification. Contractors often arrive with a bill of materials built around imported or US-spec connectors that must be matched to CSA-certified equivalents — at volumes of hundreds or thousands of pieces — without slipping the inspection date on a colo build.
What we supply
- Certified tray-cable connectors and heavy-duty cable-gland connectors at volume
- Line-for-line cross-reference from imported or US-spec parts to CSA-certified equivalents
- Enclosures, junction boxes and fittings for power and cabling infrastructure
- Fast quoting with confirmed factory lead times for large connector counts
- A single package shipped complete, matched to the project's line list

Work we’ve delivered in this sector
Anonymized for confidentiality — real scope, real scale.
Data centers aren't a classic explosion hazard, but they are a certification and volume market — and that's squarely our lane. A hyperscale or colocation build arrives with a bill of materials built around imported or US-spec tray-cable connectors and glands, and every one has to be matched to a CSA-certified equivalent that will pass a Canadian inspection.
Match it, quote it, ship it
We take the specified list, cross-reference each line to a certified equivalent by hand, confirm factory lead times, and quote the whole package. For a build measured in thousands of connectors, getting that match right — and fast — is what keeps the electrical contractor on schedule.
Delivered as one package
Large connector counts ship matched and complete, so the line list is closed in a single order rather than chased part by part.
Common questions
- Can you cross-reference an imported connector spec to a Canadian-certified part?
- Yes — that is a core part of our data-center work. We take the specified or imported connector list and match each line to a CSA-certified equivalent, by hand, then quote the full package so the contractor can order with confidence.
- Can you supply the volumes a hyperscale build needs?
- Yes. We regularly quote and supply connector counts in the hundreds and thousands, confirm factory lead times up front, and ship the matched package together so nothing on the line list holds up the build.
