GE Digital Energy announces the Multilin HardFiber System which
eliminates the need for thousands of copper wires in a substation and
replaces them with a few fiber optic cables. By eliminating the need to
install and maintain thousands of copper wires, used for signaling and
monitoring in electrical substations, utilities can save up to 50% of
protection and control installation and maintenance costs, while at the
same time increasing worker safety and power system reliability.
