Grecia, Costa RicaAlajuela Province, Grecia, Costa RicaProduct Flow DiagramSoftware And DatabaseLCA Software:SimaPro v. 10.2LCI Foreground Database(s):Ecoinvent v. 3.11Cut-off by ClassificationLCI Background Database(s):Ecoinvent v. 3.11Cut-off by ClassificationA foreground LCI database is the database used to model the primary, site-specific data collected for this EPD. A background LCI database is the databaseused to model generic or non-specific data.Data QualityPrecision & CompletenessPrecision: Inventory data were directly measured, calculated, or conservatively estimated from primary sources using consistent units and QA checks.Background processes from ecoinvent v3 were adopted with their documented uncertainty/precision metadata where available, preserving atransparent record of data quality.Completeness: The product system's mass balance and inventory completeness were thoroughly checked. Some exclusions were made in line with thePCR requirements, such as personnel impacts, R&D activities, business travel, and point-of-sale infrastructure. However, no data were intentionallyomitted.Consistency and ReproducibilityConsistency: Primary data for all modules were consistently gathered aiming at the highest level of detail possible. Background processes weremodeled mainly with the ecoinvent database. The same allocation rules, cut-off criteria, and impact assessment methods were applied throughout,ensuring methodological coherence and consistent data quality across the entire LCA model.Reproducibility: This study ensures reproducibility by providing comprehensive disclosure of input–output data, dataset choices, and modelingapproaches. A knowledgeable third party should be able to approximate the results using the same data and modeling methods.LSZH Trunk Cable AssemblyPanduitPage 6 / 17

RepresentativenessTemporal: Primary data were collected for a 12-month period representing the 2025 calendar year to ensure the representativeness of post-consumercontent. Secondary data from the ecoinvent v3 database are typically representative of recent years.Geographical: Primary data represent Panduit's production facility. Where applicable, differences in electric grid mix were considered usingappropriate secondary data. The use of country-specific data ensures high geographical representativeness, and proxy data were only used whencountry-specific data were unavailable.Technological: Both primary and secondary data were tailored to the specific technologies studied, ensuring high technological representativeness.Life Cycle Module DescriptionModules A1–A3: The LCA model covers the production of raw materials and components for Panduit's fiber optic trunk cable assemblies (A1), which arethen transported to the assembly facility (A2). The fiber cable is sourced from external suppliers, while connector components are manufactured by Panduitand assembled at each end of the cable. At the manufacturing stage (A3), cables are cut to length, furcated, and stripped before connectors are assembled,polished, tested, labelled, and packaged. Primary data for facility resource consumption — including electricity use and fuel consumption — were collectedover a 12-month period and allocated by mass across all products manufactured.Modules A4–A5: Once manufacturing is completed, finished assemblies are transported to distribution centres and from there to the installation site (A4),modelled using the default transport scenarios of the PCR. For installation (A5), a default product loss rate of 5% is applied to the reference flow andpackaging waste treatment is included in accordance with the modularity principle of the PCR. Installation processes themselves are not modelled: the rangeof possible configurations — in terms of routing, fixings, conduit, and site conditions — is too varied to support a representative default scenario.Modules B1–B7: Modules B1–B5 and B7 are not applicable and set to zero per PSR Section 3.2; only B6 is relevant, capturing signal attenuation losses overthe reference service life calculated per PSR 3.4.4.2d.Modules C1–C4 and D: At end of life (C1–C4), assemblies are assumed to be removed from service and directed to appropriate waste managementprocesses. Module C1 (removal and dismantling) is excluded from the system boundary, as the variability of cable extraction conditions across installationsprecludes a representative default scenario. C2 covers transport to waste processing or disposal facilities. C3 encompasses mechanical separation of cablecomponents, with material-specific end-of-life routes applied per the treatment scenarios prescribed in the PSR. Remaining fractions not subject to recoveryare assigned to C4 landfill disposal. Module D, covering net benefits and loads beyond the system boundary, is optional and reported separately fromModules A–C. Where calculated, results are quantified using the end-of-life formula specified in the PCR and expressed per functional unit.LCA DiscussionAllocation ProcedureAllocation of co-products was avoided, to the extent possible, based on the guidance given in ISO 14044:2006, 4.3, and in EN 15804+A2:2019. Energy useat the facility level was allocated by the amount of product produced. The manufacturing process does not consume water or generate wastewater or airemissions, other than those from fuel combustion. Solid waste was estimated using packaging masses and material losses and allocated following thepolluter pays principle.Cut-off ProcedureThe system boundary was defined based on relevance to the goal of the study. For the raw material (A1) and process related inputs (A3), all availableenergy and material flow data have been included in the model.LSZH Trunk Cable AssemblyPanduitPage 7 / 17

InterpretationThe manufacturing of the products in this analysis involves the direct procurement of fiber cable and connector components from suppliers, which are thentransported to Panduit's assembly facility where they are processed and assembled into finished trunk cable assemblies. The product stage (A1–A3) showsthe highest impact contribution across all categories, driven primarily by the upstream production of raw materials for the fiber cable and connectorcomponents, and by energy consumption during the assembly process.For products where manufacturing energy consumption is a significant contributor, transitioning to renewable energy sources at the production facility isrecommended as a priority measure.Given that upstream raw material production represents the dominant impact driver, Panduit should explore opportunities to engage suppliers whoincorporate renewable energy or resource efficiency improvements in their manufacturing processes. Investigating lower-impact material alternatives wheretechnically feasible would further reduce the overall environmental footprint of these products.0%20%40%60%80%100%GWP-TotalEF 3.1GWP-BiogenicEF 3.1GWP-FossilEF 3.1GWP-LulucEF 3.1ODPEF 3.1APEF 3.1EP-FreshwaterEF 3.1EP-MarineEF 3.1EP-TerrestrialEF 3.1POCPEF 3.1ADP-Minerals&MetalsEF 3.1ADP-FossilEF 3.1WDPEF 3.1Production (A1 - A3)Construction (A4 - A5)Use (B1 - B7)End of Life (C1 - C4)Additional Environmental InformationFull impact results are reported above for a representative product of the reference year, expressed in terms of the functional unit.

Declared unit results are derived by scaling the functional unitresult by the number of optical fibres, with the connector contribution scaled by the number of connection points.
