Warehouse and Distribution Center Powering Industrial Innovation The Project Mouser Electronics has been recognized with the Intelligent Building Conference (IBCon) "2024 Digie Award" (Commercial Real Estate Digital Innovation) for creating the "Most Intelligent DC- Powered Building" through its 416,000-square-foot distribution center expansion in Mansfield, Texas. The project, which augments Mouser's existing 1-million-square-foot facility, represents the largest implementation of Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting technology in a commercial setting and the first to successfully integrate various fixture types at this scale in the United States. The project's primary scope encompassed installing an advanced PoE lighting system throughout the new three-story warehouse expansion, including: • Implementation of over 3,500 PoE-ready lighting fixtures, • Development of a sophisticated DC power distribution infrastructure using FMP • Integration of centralized control systems for granular lighting management and energy monitoring • Installation of integrated occupancy motion and daylight sensors in each high-bay fixture

The Challenges
The Solution Mouser deployed a Power over Ethernet lighting system which combines PoE technology with FMP. The system uses hybrid copper-fiber cabling to distribute power and data from a central location to building IT enclosures, each serving 10,000 square feet. These enclosures house PoE switches that deliver up to 90W per port to lighting fixtures and sensors, enabling precise control and monitoring of over 3,500 lighting fixtures throughout the facility. • Scale and Integration: Managing the largest- ever PoE lighting installation • Technical Complexity: Implementing a hybrid copper-fiber cable system that combines FMP with optical fiber for both power and data transmission • Operational Continuity: Maintaining 24/7 warehouse operations • Energy Efficiency: Achieving 20% reduction in energy consumption while meeting stringent lighting requirements for various workspace types
The Outcomes
20% Reduction of energy consumption
100% No-electrician lighting changes
100% Elimination of steel conduit
