WESCO International is an electrical and communications distribution giant, and its data-center arm — including the Anixter product lines — supplies the power distribution, cabling and network infrastructure that hyperscale buildouts run on. It manufactures little itself; it aggregates and delivers the physical components at scale, and management flags this business as a growth driver. Its hook is the power delivery chain: AI capacity is increasingly gated by how fast power gear can be sourced and installed, and a distributor sitting on that inventory holds practical leverage.
