Industrial Media Converters Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The ease of installation in existing cabling infrastructure is notably driving the industrial media converters market growth, although factors such as regular maintenance requirements for fiber optics may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the industrial media converters industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Industrial Media Converters Market Driver
Ease of installation in existing cabling infrastructure is one of the major drivers impacting the industrial media converters market growth. The major drawback of using twisted pair wiring is its limited transmission distance of 100 meters. This challenge can be resolved using fiber optics as fiber cables are efficient in data transmission over longer distances, besides being economical when compared with copper wire. However, the complete replacement of network cables from copper wires to fiber cables proves difficult and leads to high capital expenditure. As copper wires are easy to install, most process and discrete industries have a large installed base of copper wiring. Additionally, switching from copper to fiber requires industrial operators to replace the expensive equipment that has copper ports. The use of a media converter helps in the easy transition of media types and extension of the LAN using fiber optic cables in the existing infrastructure. The use of single-mode optical fiber can increase the reach to up to 130 km.
Key Industrial Media Converters Market Trend
The increasing need for monitoring media converters is one of the major trends influencing the industrial media converters market growth. The continuous monitoring system eases the diagnosis of problems as even minor faults such as the loss of fiber strands or link loss can be monitored. The high-speed data connectivity between the factory and service providers has increased the need for monitoring the network for service providers and plant operators. Instead of having an SNMP management entity at both ends, a managed optical converter or optical demarcation module can be deployed at one end. It is mostly used by network administrators to manage network performance, detect and correct network problems, and collect network statistics. Similarly, Advantech provides the iMcV-FiberLinX-II, which can be installed at an industrial LAN edge for managing the uplink fiber port, remotely managing industrial equipment, and providing alerts during long-hauls by providing statistics related to data traffic. End-to-end integrity is maintained as the host data traffic is not visible to the industrial network, nor is access to the customer network required. Using optical demarcation modules can help in monitoring the network systems and reducing faults in them.
Key Industrial Media Converters Market Challenge
The regular maintenance requirement for fiber optics is one of the major challenges impeding the industrial media converters market growth. Though fiber optics are being increasingly used in industrial applications for transferring data across a long distance, they require timely maintenance. As fiber optics are made of glass, twisting and bending the wires may break the glass strands. Additionally, the installation process is difficult in comparison to UTP cables, as fiber optic cables cannot be spliced easily and usually get damaged during the installation and network construction activity. Though the cost for fiber optic cables has decreased, the maintenance cost is increasing as special equipment is required to monitor the fiber optics network, such as optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR), optical probes, and power meters for testing the fiber network. Even though media converters provide features such as link fault pass (LFP) functions that alert when one side of the link fails, additional testing devices for monitoring fiber optical cables are required. Therefore, the complexity of the maintenance of fiber optics is high, which acts as a challenge for the growth of the global industrial media converters market.
