    If a system’s purpose isn’t to produce heat, any heat it produces is waste heat.

        Yes, and it’s not infrared.

        Do you think the purpose of telecom systems is to produce heat? What the hell do you think waste heat even is?

        Waste heat is heat that is produced by a machine, or other process that uses energy, as a byproduct of doing work.

            Ahh right I see, I got very confused by the way you worded the comment but that may well have been a problem here on the receiving end
