According to the EPA, at 1.5% of the United States' total power consumption, modern data centers are clearly one of the largest users of energy in this country. One way to simply reduce energy demand in your data center is to use smaller copper cable. The choice of copper cabling can impact airflow because some cables have a much smaller outside diameter. Less cable means reduced blockage in the cabinet, allowing air to flow more freely and do its important job of cooling equipment, which then uses less electricity.
ADC reduced size copper cable made with AirES® technology offers another important benefit—less material is used for cable construction. By combining channels of air with traditional FEP insulation material, the net effect of AirES is superior electrical performance and smaller outside cable diameter. Yet the AirES cable is 28 to 32 percent smaller because there is simply less copper and FEP used in the cable manufacturing process.
How much can you save? Well we can help you with the math. The following are ADC’s AirES – Green Calculators which will show the environmental impact ADC’s copper cable can have. Simple choose the calculator for a cable type (Cat 6a, Cat 6 or Cat 5e) and enter the amount of cable in feet you are planning to install. Instantly you will see environmental impact and savings on raw materials ADC’s copper cable with the AirES technology provides.
