The Big Shifts
2025 was a year of normalization and quiet innovation in cabling:
- Supply chains stabilized; lead times returned to pre-pandemic norms
- AI-driven demand forecasting trimmed inventory waste
- Cat6A became the de-facto enterprise standard
- Data-center 40G/100G pushed Cat8 and OM4 adoption
Looking Ahead
We expect LSZH to become default in more regions and PoE++ to drive heavier-gauge requirements. VERDE WIRE is investing in both.
