Green technologies supported by fiber deployments

Going green within the data center requires some significant changes to technology that businesses need to be sure they are prepared for. Not only must server hardware be enhanced to reduced cooling demands and power consumption, but factors such as airflow, environmental levels and cabling need to be optimized as well. This requires additional investments in hardware and tools like fiber to copper converters.

Fiber provides some significant benefits over copper due to the increased energy efficiency of a fiber-optic network. A full deployment serves to enhance the savings goals firms have while increasing the flexibility of their cabling as well, which will help to improve cable management and airflow optimization, resulting in improved cooling efficiency.

Ultimately, green efforts are a full facility initiative, not a simple technology change that businesses can make. By going all the way, companies will see the largest results, and in return the biggest positive impact on operations possible.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
