Equipment Info: internet hardware energy consumption

[#1]

Looking for information about the energy efficiency of your internet Small Network Equipment (SNE), such as modems or pods? You can find data on the energy use of current and older models dating back as far as 2017 in the Cable Labs report.

For more information about our commitment to energy efficiency, check out the Canadian Energy Efficiency Voluntary Agreement (CEEVA) website.
