Prysmian signs a €5.5 billion 10-year agreement with Molex (Koch Inc.) and announces €10 billion cumulative revenue from hyperscalers, backed by major US fibre and optical cable capacity expansion—more than doubling domestic production.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure and Data Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
Prysmian just locked a decade of guaranteed revenue and doubled US cable capacity for AI data centres. If you make cooling, power distribution, or modular rack systems for hyperscalers, your supplier just shifted from shortage to surplus—prices and lead times are about to move.
