Future Trends
Cat 6 in the horizontal and fiber in the backbone will be the most popular
trends in near future. Bandwidth-hungry applications in some enterprises may see
fiber going till the desktop. Among various fiber options, laser-graded
50-micron fiber and single-mode fibers may gain more popularity as compared to
the conventional 62.5 u fiber.
In fact, five years down the line, fiber will start taking over copper as the
dominant medium in the backbone. Yet, fiber-to-the-desk is not likely to become
a reality (as the needs in general won’t be such) over the same time period.
