An Active Optical Cables (AOC) is a cabling technology that incorporates optical fibers between the connectors to convert electric signals for data communication and transmission of videos, and to enhance the cables performance.   These cables have been serving as an alternative to copper cables       since the past few years, due to their enormous properties such as- low power consumption, lightweight and small bend radius for easy installment.

The Global Active Optical Cable Market       is anticipated to reach $3.43B by 2022 by registering a       significant CAGR of 27.1% during the forecast period 2021-2027. Increase in adoption of data centers, digital signage industry, increasing bandwidth requirement, increase in adoption of emerging technologies in virtualization and cloud based services are some major market drivers which significantly  propel the growth of the Global Active Optical Cable Market. The increase in adoption of emerging technologies in virtualization and cloud based services such as Network- Function Virtualization (NVF) And Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is anticipated to register the sequential growth of the Active Optical Cable Market. Increase in adoption of data centers predicts to lead the application segment of Active Optical Cable Market. The data center and       optical       cable       serve to accomplish one      another’s requirement, for instance, the data centers demand fiber optic modules to connect servers, switches and storage. Hence,       these fiber optic modules portfolio       is provided by Global Active Optical Cable Market, which       is expected to lead the market growth of the global Active Optical Cable Market.

Meanwhile, the Global Active Optical Cable Market       is segmented - by-protocol, form factor, end-user application and regions. Based on the protocol, the market       is further segmented into- InfiniBand, Ethernet, serial Attached SCSI (SAS), HDMI, DisplayPort, USB and others. Whereas, the InfiniBand Protocol       is a highly applicable protocol and contributes as a major market driver due to its scalable, highly efficient and supportive quality of service (QOS) properties. Based on the form factor, the market       is further segmented as- QSFP, CXP, SFP, CDFP and others. Whereas, the QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable) contributes as a highly owned Active Optical Cable and is expected to raise the global market in estimated period. QSFP encompasses long reach, high performance and low power consumption, which makes QSFP the major market driver for the growth of the Global Active Optical Cable Market.
