Active Optical Cable Market Global Scenario, Market Size, Outlook, Trend and Forecast, 2016 - 2025

Global active optical cable market is estimated to reach $8,493 Million by 2025; growing at a CAGR of 33.5% from 2017 to 2025. Active optical cable consists of fiber optic transceivers, multimode optical fiber, modules and control chip. It uses electrical-to-optical conversion on the cable ends to enhance speed and distance performance of the cable without sacrificing compatibility with standard electrical interfaces. Some of the benefits of fiber optical cables are they provide capability to short and long distances, low cost, hard to tap into the optics, low bit-error rate, and no cleaning of the optics needed, among others. These are considered to be one of the biggest technical transitions in the communications industry and huge opportunities for photonic interconnects.

Increase in demand for higher bandwidth, growing demand for active optical cable in data center, and shift of telecom sector towards faster optical networks are the major factor driving the growth of the market. In addition, increasing investments by governments to improve connectivity within the region. However, high initial investment associated with the active optical cable and challenges from optical network security fiber hack are the restraints of the market. Moreover, advancements in fiber optics technology is expected to equally influence the overall growth of market during the forecast period.
