Siemon Gives Tips For Green IT Cabling

Network cabling company Siemon has launched an online resource with cabling tips that can make buildings greener.

Siemon's green cabling website gives an overview of the United States Green Building Council's LEED program, offers advise on how to use cabling to maximize energy efficiency, and lists products and their green credentials.

Most importantly, the website talks about using the design and routing of cabling to allow cool air to flow unobstructed through data centers and also to guide cool air where it is needed.

Siemon also looks at the benefits of installing high-bandwidth cabling systems to avoid frequent replacement, noting that using cabling with longevity prevents wasting materials and resources like copper.
