$8.9 Billion Markets for Active Optical Cables: 2017-2026 - Data Rates, Protocols, MSAs, Cable Length, Fiber Type, Location, Pricing and Installed Base and Shipments - Research and Markets
DUBLIN, April 07, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Markets for Active Optical Cables: 2017-2026" report to their offering.
Markets for Active Optical Cables: 2017 - 2026, the researcher claims revenues from AOCs will reach $8.9 billion by 2022 compared with $1.1 billion in 2017. Much of this growth will come from a rush to install 100 Gbps links and the growth of hyperscale data centers. CIR is also seeing important new opportunities emerge for AOCs in 25 GigE, digital signage and personal computing.
This report provides a ten-year forecast/competitive analysis of the AOC market, which the researcher has been covering for a decade. New in this report, is discussion of changes occurring as western AOC suppliers merge and Chinese suppliers emerge. Also forecasts of AOC markets in personal computing and consumer electronics resulting from the recent Thunderbolt improvements.
Applications covered by the report comprise:
- Data centers (rack-to-rack, inter-router links, switch-to-router links, HPC applications, etc.)
- Digital signage (connections to content sources and control centers)
- Consumer electronics/personal computing (display extenders, personal video editing, gaming consoles etc.)
- Military and secure networks
- Campus networks
