Report: Active Optical Cabling Market to Reach $7.4 Billion by 2023
1/24/2018
According to a new report published by Communications Industry Researchers, “Active Optical Cables: Markets and Opportunities, 2018-2027,” revenues from active optical cables (AOCs) will reach $7.4 billion worldwide by 2023.
Key findings from the report include:
- Much of the growth for AOCs will come from the rush to install 100 Gbps inter-machine links and 25 Gbps server-to-switch connectivity.
- AOCs are now widely accepted by data center managers for even the largest cloud centers. As a result, the growing shift to 100/150G links for switch-to-router and router-to-router links will be the mass market for AOCs. By 2023, 100/150G AOCs will have reached $4.9 billion – more than 66 percent of the global AOC market.
- Due to a 400G “surge” in big data centers starting in 2021, by 2023, the value of the 400G AOC market will be around $320 million.
