Prysmian Group, the globally renowned company in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces the launch of the first optical cables certified green, thanks to its ECO CABLE label, the first proprietary green product label in the cable industry.

The Prysmian Group will present its range of ECO CABLE labeled products at the FTTH Conference 2023, starting tomorrow in Madrid.

“The ECO CABLE products are aimed at proactively addressing the greener and greener expectations of the telecom market and of all stakeholders,” explains Philippe Vanhille, Executive Vice President Telecom Division at Prysmian Group.

Philippe Vanhille adds, “We are now ready to present our range of telecom products where the measurable and recognized sustainable criteria can be applied, to support the decarbonization of operators and broadband infrastructure providers and strengthen their green supply chain and value proposition.”

Fiber is intrinsically green

Fiber is intrinsically green as full-fiber networks consume significantly less electricity than copper-based broadband networks, and enable energy savings, helping achieve the twin transitions of Digital Europe and European Green Deal.

Prysmian Group has taken a step further, by introducing ECO CABLE for its telecom products.

ECO CABLE label assignment

The ECO CABLE label assignment is based on an automatic calculation system using recognized and measurable criteria, in line with the main regulatory frameworks and requirements, with a very specific focus on cable products: Carbon Footprint, Absence of Substances of Very High Concern, Recyclability/Circularity, Recycling input rate, Environmental benefits and Cable transmission efficiency, which for optical cables means an increase in fiber density.

All of the Prysmian Group’s telecom cables have been assessed, and approximately 30% of them are now ECO CABLE compliant. The roll out of ECO CABLE labeled telecom products will start in May 2023, in Europe, with the rest to follow starting later in the year.
