• Veir has adapted its superconducting electrical cables to bring them inside the data center.
• The Microsoft-backed startup’s first product will be a cable system capable of carrying 3 megawatts of low-voltage electricity.
• The cables will be piloted in data centers next year in advance of an expected 2027 commercial launch, Tim Heidel, CEO of Veir, told TechCrunch.
• Veir buys the superconductors from the same suppliers, and they’re wrapped in a jacket to contain the liquid nitrogen coolant that keeps the material at -196˚ C (-321˚ F)
