I have a question regarding power consumption: How many watts does an FTTH (fibre to the home) cable consume? I'm curious if the energy consumption is significant and how it compares to other network technologies. Thanks in advance for your answers!

Question

Accepted Answer

An FTTH (fibre to the home) cable itself consumes very little energy, around 0.07 watts. In comparison, a typical RJ45 cable (copper Ethernet) consumes around 3 watts. This makes fibre optic cables much more energy efficient in operation and can lead to lower operating costs and a smaller environmental footprint in the long term.
