Top Impacting Factors
The factors such as increase in demand for high-speed connectivity devices and systems, improved cable technology, negative impact of Internet of Things, rise in development of data centers, and emergence of 5G revolution are expected to significantly affect the growth of the patch cable market. These factors are anticipated to either drive or hamper the growth of market.
Increase in Demand for High-Speed Connectivity Devices and System
High-speed connectivity devices and systems gain popularity among the industrial applications to cater to the need of smooth and secure transmission of data. The use of high-speed networking lines helps the production facilities to analyze real-time data and improvise the production processes accordingly.
Two connections, which include electrical connection and the actual network connection are required for many connected devices such as networked surveillance cameras or IP cameras. Patch cables provide several common techniques to transmit PoE cabling. This advantage of patch cables is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market growth.
Improved Cable Application
The cable technology has witnessed continuous innovation over the years. They are mainly categorized into copper and fiber-optic cables. Copper cables find wide applications due to their low cost and high security & reliability, whereas fiber-optic cables are applicable in areas such as oil & gas industry.
Copper cables range from Category 1 to Category 8, depending upon the frequency and rate of data transmission. The most recommended cable is Category 6A with data transmission speed of 10,0000 Mbps data transmission rates, which is widely used for applications such as CDDI, toke rings, ATM, digital video, broadband, and baseband analog videos
Negative Impact of Internet-of-Things (IoT)
The concept of Internet of Things has evolved owing to the development of technology, thus, exponentially increasing the number of devices connected to each other. This is expected to result in failure of wired network cable, as it is not feasible to connect numerous devices through wired network, which restrains the market growth.
Increase in Development of Data Centers
The world is increasingly becoming connected and digital. The rise in need of cloud storage results in a large volume of data centers around the world, which in turn, consumes a huge amount of data. A data center centralizes an organization’s IT operations and equipment. Data is stored, managed, and disseminated across a variety of devices. It houses computer systems and associated components such as telecommunications and storage systems.

An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made by silica or plastic. A protective coating of one or two layers of cushioning material (such as acrylate) is used to reduce cross talk between adjacent fibers and the loss-increasing micro bending that occurs when fibers are pressed against rough surfaces. Researchers from RMIT University Australia have developed tiny readers that can detect information in light spirals. By twisting light into a spiral, engineers have created a third dimension for light to carry information. The technology could be used to upgrade fiber optic networks in Australia’s national broadband network.
