World of Cables

Successful premiere at wire 2026

With “World of Cables,” wire 2026 focused specifically on cable end products for the first time. The premiere impressively demonstrated the high level of interest in high-performance cable systems, their applications, and their importance for key industries of the future.

Outlook for 2028

Review 2026: Nothing works without cables

The cable takes center stage

High-performance cables are essential for the safe transmission of power and data in industrial and critical applications: from high-voltage transmission to telecommunications and automation systems. Modern cable technologies enable a stable power supply, low-loss signal transmission, and drive innovation.

With the debut of World of Cables, wire Düsseldorf 2026 created its first dedicated section specifically focused on the end product—the cable. This move consistently expanded the value chain of the world’s leading trade fair: from materials and manufacturing technologies to the finished cable and its applications in key international industries.

The response confirms the concept

The premiere of World of Cables demonstrated that the concept strikes a chord with the industry. The response at the event confirm the need for a platform that connects cable manufacturers, technologies, and specific applications even more closely.

World of Cables brings together suppliers of finished cable products with trade visitors from key customer and end-user industries—including, among others, energy and power supply, communications technology, mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive industry, construction and building technology, aerospace, and medical technology.

In this way, the special exhibition area creates an important link between cable expertise and practical applications.

World of Cables 2028

From a Successful Premiere to the Next Stage of Development

Following its successful debut at wire 2026, the World of Cables will be systematically further developed and expanded at wire 2028. The enthusiastic response and the visitor profile at wire Düsseldorf have clearly demonstrated that there is significant interest in cables as end products, their diverse applications, and their importance for key industries of the future.

A Comprehensive View of the Entire Value Chain

This strengthens wire’s position as the central international hub for the cable industry and completes the value chain of the wire and cable industry. While materials, machinery, and production technologies have traditionally been among the core areas of the world’s leading trade fair, “World of Cables” also provides a prominent platform for the resulting end product.

The World of Cables will continue to expand in 2028

At wire 2028, this approach will be consistently pursued, and the World of Cables will be further developed. This special exhibition area brings together cable manufacturers, innovations, and applications, creating an international platform for companies that want to showcase the central role that modern cable systems play in energy supply, digitalization, mobility, communication, and industrial transformation.

The World of Cables continues to grow—and with it, the international stage for the cable industry.
