Sustainability in the built environment is no longer an ambition. It is a requirement. As buildings become smarter and energy-aware, the networks inside them must keep pace. Halonex® by FiberUnlimited offers a cleaner, lighter alternative to traditional copper networks by rethinking connectivity from the ground up.

Material efficiency with real impact

Our network is built on advanced Polymer Optical Fiber. This material is flexible, light and fully copper-free. It delivers the same reliable indoor performance while removing one of the most resource-intensive materials in today’s IT infrastructure. Because the fiber is thin and easy to process, it requires far fewer raw materials from the start.

UTP versus POF

Independently verified

Independent research by Energy Watch confirms this impact. Their lifecycle analysis shows that our system uses up to 90 percent less material than conventional cabling and reduces the total CO₂ footprint of the network by up to 70 percent. Per meter of cable, the reduction even reaches 88 percent. These findings validate what we see in practice: a leaner network can deliver the same performance with a far cleaner footprint.

Lower energy use throughout its lifetime

Energy performance is another decisive factor. Halonex® uses efficient components and LED based communication that cut operational power demand by up to 40 percent. Over the lifetime of a network, these savings translate into meaningful emissions reduction and lower operating costs.

Designed for circularity and long-term value

Circularity is built into the system. The minimal mass of the cable reduces waste during installation, and the simplicity of the topology extends the life of the infrastructure. Adding or relocating connection points requires no invasive work, which prevents material waste and avoids disruption inside operating buildings.

A smarter alternative for modern buildings

By removing copper and simplifying the way indoor networks are designed and installed, Halonex® provides a measurable, independently validated sustainability gain that aligns with the ambitions of modern buildings. It shows that better connectivity does not need a heavier footprint. It only needs a smarter approach.
