FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
Reduced fault levels mean fewer truck rolls and therefore a reduction in carbon emissions .
Fibre optic technology offers several inherent benefits when it comes to CO 2 emission reduction . Its energy consumption is low , as a fibre network has fewer active components . Fibre networks emit 88 % less greenhouse gasses per GB compared to legacy technologies . Data transmission performance headroom means that just one kilogram of glass is as powerful as 1,000 kilos of copper .
Looking at HD streaming , the lowest CO 2 emissions are produced when using a fibre optic connection . Raw materials , including the silicate used for optical fibre , can be extracted , or recycled with a relatively low carbon footprint . Lighter weight and smart product and packaging designs reduce transport and waste-related emissions .
Green at Nexans
For several years now , Nexans has been committed to reducing its own carbon footprint and has also been working with its customers to reduce the carbon impact of infrastructure . Nexans ’ solutions have been proven in the field : from cables and components to solutions for monitoring or damage prevention .
Thin cables can be packaged efficiently , with more cabling per drum , and transported using less fuel .
