In 2025-2026, Russia continues to implement large-scale infrastructure programs aimed at digitalizing the economy, modernizing the social sphere and developing the urban environment. These projects directly affect the demand for telecommunication solutions, including LAN cable for structured cabling systems.
The main drivers of demand growth
Government and corporate investments are concentrated in several key areas:
- Digitalization of social infrastructure
Within the framework of federal and regional programs, the following are being modernized:
- schools and educational centers;
- hospitals and medical institutions;
- administrative buildings;
- cultural and sports facilities.
Each such object requires:
- local area networks;
- video surveillance systems;
- warning and security systems;
- wireless Wi-Fi infrastructure.
All these solutions are based on structured cabling systems.
- Development of transport and urban infrastructure
Smart city and transportation modernization projects include:
- video surveillance systems on streets and in transport;
- intelligent motion control systems;
- digital display boards and information systems;
- control rooms and data processing centers.
This leads to an increase in the volume of gaskets:
- external LAN cables;
- cables with enhanced protection; halogen-free solutions for public areas.
- Growth of data centers and corporate IT projects
Stricter data storage requirements and the development of digital services are stimulating construction:
- commercial data centers
- corporate servers
- regional data centers
For such objects, the following are used:
- Category 6 and 6A cables
- shielded structures
- solutions with enhanced fire safety
How does the cable market react
The growth of infrastructure projects leads to a change in the structure of demand:
Main trends:
- increase in the share of project supplies;
- increased consumption of Cat.6 and Cat.6A cables;
- increasing fire safety requirements
- switching to domestic manufacturers
Customers are increasingly targeting suppliers who can:
- ensure stable delivery time;
- support the warehouse program;
- promptly produce non-standard designs;
- to support the project technically.
The role of Russian manufacturers
In the context of active digitalization and localization requirements, domestic cable factories play a special role.
Advantages of local production:
- short delivery time;
- price stability and logistics;
- compliance with Russian standards;
- participation in government and infrastructure projects.
The position of the "Farial"
NPO Farial produces full-cycle LAN cable at its own facilities in Russia and provides supplies for:
- educational and medical facilities;
- transport infrastructure;
- industrial enterprises;
- data centers;
- corporate networks.
A wide range of categories 5e, 6 and 6A, as well as flame-resistant and halogen-free designs, make it possible to implement projects of any complexity.
