Market CAGR for LAN cable is being driven by the rising demand for high-speed internet facilities. The development in communication technology with the increase in the probing of connected devices is driving the LAN cable market growth. LAN cables are widely utilized to connect devices in a network, and it is a famous form of network connection utilized by specific organizations, like school campuses, offices, and hospitals. LAN cables have advanced from Cat1 to Cat6 cables and become a popular option for the data center, anticipated to create important opportunities for market growth.
A LAN cable is the hardware component of a network offering communication over a local network by connecting the router with peripheral devices and further connected to a local server. The laptops or computers can be connected with modems, routers, and switches by copper cables. Though it provides connectivity to a small area, various LANs can be connected to produce a bigger network. The market got a boost during Covid-19 as everyone was bound to do work from home, which increased the demand for LAN cables for better connection. Ethernet LAN cables are largely utilized and trusted network technology as its simple to install and have various advantages over the alternative methods. Ethernet cables enhances the performance of connected devices by fast data transport. Wired internet-enabled devices like computers, modems, and routers can all connect to and transmit broadband signals.
The increased need for the construction of data hubs and their wide use in commercial and governmental organizations have been crucial driving factors for the expansion of the market. The infrastructure and development initiatives directly or indirectly boost the growth of the market. The Ethernet LAN cables have great durability and lesser security risks compared to additional interacting services like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies; these factors will directly lead to the expansion of the market. Thus, driving the LAN Cable market revenue.
The LAN Cable Market segmentation, based on type, includes Copper and Fiber. The copper segment dominates the market, accounting for the largest market revenue as these are cost-effective and have greater flexibility than fiber-optic cable and thus dominate the market in terms of revenue and volume. The two types of copper cable are Network cable (CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e, and others) and Power over Ethernet (CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7, and CAT8). The fiber optic cable is anticipated to grow at a faster CAGR. The fiber optic cable is of two types, namely: single-mode and multi-mode fiber-optic cables.
The LAN Cable Market segmentation, based on form, includes Solid Ethernet Cable and Stranded Ethernet Cable. The solid ethernet cable dominates the market as it has superior performance and is resistant to electrical interference, and works well with the traditional punch-down the application. Solid copper conductors are much strong and durable, which makes them best for outdoor use. These are often present in the lengths required for in-wall or plenum space installations and also for outdoor uses. Furthermore, the Stranded Ethernet Cable is anticipated to grow at a faster CAGR. Stranded cables are much flexible and can withstand greater bending when compared to rigid solid conductors that can fail when flexed too many times.
