Did You Know?

It is estimated that over 60 BILLION feet of communications cabling is currently installed in plenum ceilings in the United States alone. A large percentage of this cabling is unused.

However we still continue to make more - Average manufacturing volumes of plenum and non-plenum cables combined is approximately 7.2 billion feet per year.

In 2002 the National Electrical Code was revised to require that unused cabling be removed from commercial structures.

While the copper conductor wiring in this cable is recyclable, the commingled plastics in cable jacket are not.

It is estimated that 95% of all abated cabling is recycled for copper but as much as 90% of the resin cable jacket is incinerated or ends up in our landfills.

The average communications cables life expectancy is almost 15 years yet the average office lease is only 5 years.

Adaptable design can reduce churn cost 10 fold per employee.

What We Can Do Together!

Synergistic Solutions Group is committed to green technology. In addition to our expertise in modular, scalable and re-usable cabling infrastructure, we also encourage the re-use of compliant cabling infrastructures already in place.

SSG will perform an assessment of existing cabling infrastructures to determine if re-use is a viable option.

We will inventory existing cable and design a new solution by re-allocating the existing infrastructure.

If cable can not be re-used will will perform professional abatement services and transport abated cabling to the recycling center. NOT THE LANDFILL.
