Hybrid cable is the frontrunner in the evolving cable industry. It combines optical fibres and copper wires within a single sheath, allowing for simultaneous power transmission and data communication. This integration is crucial for connecting smart devices, such as sensors and cameras, for efficient urban management. Manjit Singh, Executive Director at KEC International, has more to share.

How do hybrid cables enhance sustainability and efficiency in Smart City infrastructure projects?

The cable industry is witnessing significant developments in the range of cables offered, especially hybrid cables that promote sustainability, especially for Smart City projects. Hybrid cables combine optical fibres and copper wires within a single sheath, allowing for simultaneous power transmission and data communication. This integration is crucial for connecting smart devices, such as sensors and cameras, for efficient urban management.
