A web seminar hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance on Thursday, October 24 will discuss the ways in which a structured cabling system can be energy-, labor- and performance-efficient. Titled “Are ‘green’ efforts and cabling a mismatch?’” the seminar will include three presentations, each of which takes a unique perspective on how cabling choices affect efficiency.
In a summary of the seminar, Cabling Installation & Maintenance says, “With cabling technologies and options all but ignored by the USGBC’s LEED program, is the concept of a ‘green’ structured cabling system an oxymoron? Technological, business and standards developments from all corners of the cabling industry indicate the concept is not an oxymoron. Cabling-system stakeholders have the opportunity to make choices that can greatly enhance a network and cabling system’s efficiencies. This webcast seminar … addresses several such options, outlining the efficiencies gained by each and emphasizing each option’s environment impact compared to other options.”
The three presentations will be as follows.
- Cooling a Data Center Efficiently—presented by Ian Seaton, global technology manager with Chatsworth Products Inc.
- Efficiencies of a Fiber-Optic Infrastructure—presented by Robert Yarbrough, market development manager for datacom with HellermannTyton
- Efficiencies of Field-Assembled Optical Fiber Cables—delivered by Kurt Templeman, director of enterprise networks with Sumitomo Electric Lightwave
The seminar, expected to take approximately one hour, will be broadcast live at 1pm EDT/10am PDT on Thursday, October 24. Beginning the following day, it will be available for on-demand viewing for a six-month period. Individuals who attend the seminar in its entirety will be eligible to receive one ITS continuing education credit (CEC) from BICSI.
