 What options are available to IT professionals that will allow them to more efficiently run advanced applications and minimize the impact of those applications on the environment?
Converging Applications
The Nexans Data Communications Competence Center suggests convergence as one way to advance network functionality while also managing the impact of the technology on the environment. In the video clip below, Mike Good, Test Engineer for the Nexans Data Communications Competence Center outlines the advantages of high-performance twisted-pair cabling for use to support video distribution systems in place of the traditional coaxial-based systems.
Another element of converged infrastructure design can be seen in the movement toward using twisted pair cabling to support CCTV security installations. As pictured at right, twisted pair can be deployed to support both analog and digital camera over an IP system. Again, this can eliminate the need for coaxial cabling, and reduce the overall environmental footprint of an installation.
Intelligent Product Redesigns
Through continuously re-evaluating our product designs, we not only work to improve the performance of our cables, we also reduce the total amount of materials required. Through innovative materials usage, such as jacket striation and foaming technology, we can reduce the total amount of plastics required in the construction of our products, and less plastics, means less petrochemicals, and ultimately, a smaller environmental footprint.
