Category 6A, Wi-Fi 8, Fault Managed Power, Smart Buildings, the 2026 NEC, and more. There is significant change going on in the enterprise wire and cable market. This presentation will take people on a journey through these different changes. We will start by discussing the surging Category 6A market and the technologies like Wi-Fi 8 behind that surge. We will then move to talking about Fault Managed Power and Smart Buildings and the question of adoption of these technologies is not a question of "if" they get adopted, but "when". Finally, we will end with a look at the 2026 NEC code and the expected impact on this industry.
