Driven by R&D
Innovation is the key for the cabling vendors. From merely delivering core products to its customers in India, they have progressed to developing unique products or solutions to suit the Indian market.

Tyco has been focusing on developing high bandwidth, high speed, and high performance systems and solutions. So, right from plug and play modular systems, in both fiber and twisted pair, to high-density connectivity management and cable management systems, and intelligent infrastructure management systems that allow real time tracking of several parameters, have been some key developments.
