What products have been hot at L-com over the past year? We checked our records to determine the top 10 bestselling items of 2023. The results didn’t exactly shock us, though they are eye-opening. But before we present them, three quick observations:
Copper Is Alive and Well: Though we sell a lot of fiber optic connectivity products from our growing inventory, 6 of our top 10 products are Ethernet couplers and plugs.
USB Is Right for Me: Three of 2023’s top products have USB connectors. No surprise here. After all, what’s not to like about that wonderfully easy-to-use interface?
Shielding, Please: Just an observation – You like your signals quiet. Seven of our top 10 products are shielded to reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).
