Innovation in electrical infrastructure remains our priority at Ellis, the global leader in safety-critical cable cleats.

This is highlighted by the growing popularity of our innovative Twist-Foot cable cleat adaptor within data centre projects, ahead of the exhibition at Data Centre World 2026 in London.

As data centres contend with ever-higher power densities and stringent installation schedules, the Ellis Twist-Foot has emerged as a standout solution thanks to its simplicity and speed of installation. Designed to be supplied pre-assembled on our best-selling cleats, the Twist-Foot eliminates the need for separate fixing kits, allowing installers to simply fit, twist and tighten, dramatically reducing installation time and labour costs.

Originally developed in a rapid innovation cycle at Ellis’ Rillington headquarters, our in-house R&D team utilised 3D rapid-prototyping methods to take the idea from concept to prototype in just days (see our previous news story). The Twist-Foot underscores Ellis’s commitment to engineering solutions that meet real-world challenges.

Today, the Twist-Foot is being specified across major data centre builds worldwide, where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Data centre operators and contractors increasingly recognise the value of solutions that not only meet safety standards but also contribute to faster project milestones and lower on-site labour demands.

Reducing installation complexity without compromising performance has been a key driver behind the Twist-Foot. In data centres, where schedules are tight and uptime is everything, installers and project teams are telling us this solution really makes a difference.

Ellis will be exhibiting at Data Centre World 2026 on 4–5 March 2026 at ExCeL London (Stand E60), where visitors can see the Twist-Foot technology firsthand and discuss its applications in critical infrastructure projects. The event remains one of the year’s most important gatherings for data centre professionals, bringing together industry leaders to evaluate the latest advances in power distribution, resilience and operational efficiency.
