Fiber Optic Installation Apparatus Global Market Forecast

This ElectroniCast study provides a ten-year forecast of the global market for the various interconnect, cable management and other "hardware" products used in telecommunication, cable TV, private data and military data communication system inside plant and outside plant fiber optics installation.

Fiber optic networks are becoming increasingly complex: more fibers, more connectors and splices, more frequent reconfigurations. As higher production volumes and advancing technology drive fiber optic component costs down, installation and reconfiguration labor and maintenance costs are becoming an increasingly large share of total system life cycle costs. There will be strongly growing demand for fiber optics installation, management and interconnect apparatus that reduces labor cost, reduces error potential, increases reliability and simplifies later expansion and modification.

WHY THIS STUDY

The 2000-2010 forecast of fiber optic system demand for installation, interconnect and cable/fiber management products provides information of high value to commercial and military data system installers, telephone companies, other common carriers, cable TV operators and fiber optic apparatus producers:

• New product markets; timing and price sensitivity
• New product availability, performance and pricing
• Constraints placed on manufacturers by telco, datacom and cable TV cost requirements and growth plans

Import and export forecasts are provided for each component category.

Please note.: The delivery time for hard copies and CD-ROM is between 3-5 business days, as each is custom printed for the organization ordering it.
