Emergence of new broadband applications expected to provide stimulus for fiber cabling growth post- 2004.

It is projected that fiber cable growth will still be restrained in 2004, at a small 3.4% growth, as saturation still limits the need for new network backbone riser cabling. Copper cabling will essentially have the same small, single-digit growth due to saturations lingering effect in new network installations at larger enterprises.

(PRWEB) January 11, 2004 --Research and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled "Fiber Cabling Systems: U.S. Building Market" to its offerings.

It is projected that fiber cable growth will still be restrained in 2004, at a small 3.4% growth, as saturation still limits the need for new network backbone riser cabling. Copper cabling will essentially have the same small, single-digit growth due to saturations lingering effect in new network installations at larger enterprises. Whereas, the copper cabling market is expected to be restrained by saturation, with small, single-digit growths post- 2004, the emergence of new broadband applications, in conjunction with the need for higher bandwidth at network bottlenecks, is expected to provide a stimulus fo fiber cabling growth post- 2004.

This report provides a Definitive & Detailed Product Forecast & Analysis of Fiber Cabling Usage Within Buildings Supporting Datacomm Applications.

This report will questions how much fiber cable shipments grow in 2003 and also provides projections for 2004 & 2008. Other questions include Which building cabling applications will be the largest? Which will have the highest growth? What is the current split by Singlemode vs. Multimode fiber shipments? What will it be in 5 years? What will be the shipments by performance levels (10 Gbps)?How many VCSEL ports are expected to be shipped each year through 2008 by performance level?Will copper cabling be used to support 10 Gbps or will fiber be required?

This report also addresses new Technologies including 50-micron, laser-enhanced multimode fibers, 1300 nm VCSELs, Small Form Factor pluggable transceivers --XFP and Small Form Factor fiber connectors.
