Smart factories, networked communication systems and requirements for data transmission are constantly growing in this era of rapid digitalisation. With greater versatility and efficiency in future smart factories to be expected, industrial networks and technologies need to enable communications in harsh environments with high volumes of data, and withstand external influences at the same time.
Despite uncertainties, the Industrial Ethernet cables market is set to grow by USD1.17 billion between 2021 to 2025, driven by the growing benefits of Industrial Ethernet, which has seen it replacing Fieldbus.1 In fact, Ethernet/IP and PROFINET each take up 17% market share of new installed nodes in factory automation, according to a 2022 study.2
