Work item: L.Env.TSPC
Subject/title: Resource saving, e-waste reduction and energy saving system methodology using twisted single pair cable
Status: Under study [Issued from previous study period]
Approval process: AAP
Type of work item: Recommendation
Version: New
Equivalent number: -
Timing: 2025 (Medium priority)

Supporting members: NEC, UPC
Summary: This Recommendation proposes a new cable system that simultaneously provides power supply and communication using a single twisted pair cable. Traditionally, power and communication have been provided through separate cable systems. However, by twisting the power cable, this new approach enables both functions to be delivered through a single cable to all devices that require power. The new cable system offers multiple advantages including reduced cable resource usage, minimized waste generation, and improved efficiency in installation and maintenance. It also promotes reuse and recycling of components, supports long-term utilization of cable systems, and ultimately contributes to conserving both resources and energy. In addition, the cable system limits power supply to a maximum of 90W per cable (DC 60V / 1.5A), which supports energy efficiency and the miniaturization and weight reduction of components and devices, while also enhancing electrical safety. Furthermore, since power and communication can be provided simultaneously to all terminals, it enables energy consumption control through AI-based power management. This contributes to building a new eco-system that supports the realization of a sustainable society
