Research and Markets: Users Need to Upgrade Their Cabling Plants to Fiber Cabling in Order to Support the New Applications Such as Data Centers Which Will See a Growth of 50.9%.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c19524) has announced the addition of Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. Fiber & Copper Cabling Systems: 2005 to their offering The structured cabling Structured Cabling is defined as building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. system industry has suffered a severe slowdown over the past five years. During the 1990s, until 1999, the industry flourished with double-digit growth, as the initial network cabling was installed. This networking was primarily Cat 5 UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair copper cabling. In 1999, the onset of saturation saturation, of an organic compound saturation, of an organic compound, condition occurring when its molecules contain no double or triple bonds and thus cannot undergo addition reactions. caused the market to reverse and actually decline. Thereafter, until the present, the market has drifted with no or minimal growth. This flat, stable market situation has resulted in cabling industry consolidation of major cable suppliers, such as Belden with CDT CDT abbr. Central Daylight Time CDT Central Daylight Time CDT n abbr (US) (= Central Daylight Time) → hora de verano del centro; (BRIT and Avaya with CommScope. The question that arises now from all the structured cabling system suppliers is, "If and when will the market recover?" Recent research indicates that the market is poised for renewed growth in the next five years. The current market is primarily being driven by MACs (moves, adds, changes), new buildings or new applications. None of these provides sufficient impetus to grow the market at double digits Double Digits was a pricing game on the American television game show, The Price Is Right. Played from April 20, 1973 through May 18, 1973's show, it was played for a car and used small prizes. as in the past. MACs require small amounts of cabling; office vacancy rates are high and are expected to remain high, precluding the need for new office buildings; and new applications rarely require upgrading the cabling. As a result, the market has stagnated at its pre-1999 levels.

This development is the upgrading of the existing cabling to support new broadband applications. Most of this upgrade will be to Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), at bandwidths of 1 Gbps or higher. In this recent study, "GbE Fiber & Copper Cabling Systems: 2005," new applications have been identified, such as data centers with large server farms and other applications with similar broadband requirements needing to upgrade to speeds of at least 10 Gbps. It is believed higher speeds, at or in excess of 10 Gbps, will become mandatory in the near future. This analysis indicates that users need to upgrade their cabling plants to fiber cabling in order to support these new applications. The study identifies the largest of these applications and the highest growth applications. For example, campus applications are expected to have the highest growth of 52.1% over the next five years, as it is a relatively unpenetrated application. Data centers are also a high growth application with a growth of 50.9% being projected. Market forecast details by application, by bandwidth and by cable type are all included in this new landmark study.
