Overview
The ever-increasing demand for data traffic in a cable network presents an inherent uptick in power consumption in the inside plant (ISP) and outside plant (OSP) portions of the cable network. This paper serves as a playbook to address this challenge, outlining industry-proven methods for optimizing a cable network's power consumption efficiency. We will explore traditional and cutting-edge strategies to reduce overall energy consumption, providing a framework for achieving significant savings across a cable network.
