Multi-Gigabit Datacom Connectors and Cable Assemblies Market
The overall market for Gigabit and above connectors and cable assemblies is expected to top $9.4 billion in 2014. The largest market by far is Ethernet. While 40G Ethernet ports are now mainstream, 100G is just starting to be implemented in LANs. With a double-digit 5-year CAGR, 100G connector products and cable assemblies are anticipated to show significant growth, while sales of connector products and assemblies used in Gigabit Ethernet applications will decline significantly.
Is your company prepared for this change? Bishop’s brand new report - Multi-Gigabit Datacom Connectors and Cable Assemblies Market – will help your company prepare for this exciting and challenging time.
This report provides:
- Assessment of the key connector and cable assemblers in this market – CommScope, Corning, Panduit, The Siemon Company and many others – their current and anticipated products and how they compare with mega connector and cable assembler’s like Amphenol, Molex and TE Connectivity.

This research report provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Multi-Gigabit Datacom Connectors and Cable Assemblies Market. The report covers connector and cable assembly sales data for the years 2014 through 2019 by data communication equipment market, by data rate, by connector type, by medium (copper or fiber), and by cable assembly type. Forecasts are also broken out by region of the world.
The overall market for Gigabit and above connectors and cable assemblies in 2014 is expected to top $9.4 billion. The largest market by far is Ethernet. This report categorizes Ethernet products into three categories – Ethernet Structured Cabling, Ethernet Interconnect and Ethernet Wireless Backhaul. For each category, forecast data is provided by data rate, total components, connector products by type, and cable assemblies by type, allowing the reader to quickly determine key areas of growth.
In addition to product analysis, the report also offers a detailed overview of the competitive landscape of this market. Current and future product offerings of individual manufacturers are discussed, as well as how focused suppliers compare with mega connector and cable assembler’s like Amphenol, Molex and TE Connectivity.
Other key areas of discussion include:
- The progression of networking data rates.
- Top-of-rack (ToR) Switching effects on data centers
- How finally having 10GBASE-T will influence the 10GBASE-SR (10G short-reach optics) market and,
- How 40G and 100G will affect the data center operator.
