Copper or Aluminium Conductors: Balancing Sustainability and Practicality in Data Centre Cable Specification
12 Mar 2025
Operational Transformation & Resilience Theatre
Cable standards will ultimately determine whether it is a copper or aluminium cable that is compliant for your installation. But where there is a choice, there are key points to consider:
- Sustainability: Looking at embodied carbon emissions (by weight and current carrying capacity).
- Practicality: Looking at site conditions, installation design, asset management, and compliance requirements.
This session will offer guidance for data centre cable specifications and support sustainable operations.
