And the automotive market is likely to be very large. But you will need to do your own research to find candidate products and determine which ones are suitable.>>Note that if twisted pair is not required, the fiber-optic >>options are winning big in big factories because of their total >>immunity to EMI. > >That is quite true, but the value of the installed base STP in >plants is huge. Not everything needs GB/s.See the "Note that if twisted pair is not required" qualifier. There are many folk who don't have that limitation, and knowing where the market centroid is may be useful.
