Active optical cable and extender are the cables with optoelectric modules in the connector heads that convert electrical signals to light. They play a critical role by enabling greater reach and flexibility in connecting various devices, screens, and audio systems within these configurations. The increasing digitalization and 5G network rollouts are providing lucrative market growth opportunities for active optical cable and extender. The increasing adoption of 4K and 8K video technologies in industries like broadcasting, gaming, medical imaging, and digital signage is driving the market. The increasing adoption of cloud computing, widespread deployment of 5G technology, and increasing dependence on high-performance (HPC) & artificial intelligence (AI) are propelling the market growth. On the contrary, the higher power requirements of active optical cables than DAC active cables are challenging the market. Further, the technical skills and expertise required for the installation and maintenance of AOCs and extenders are challenging the market.
The active optical cables segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the global active optical cable and extender market is divided into active optical cables and extenders. Among these, the active optical cables segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. An active optical cable (AOC) is a type of cabling technology that improves cable performance by using optical fiber between connectors. The increasing benefits and popularity of active optical cables are driving the market in the active optical cables segment.
The PCI express segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR through the forecast period.
Based on the protocol, the global active optical cable and extender market is divided into InfiniBand, ethernet, serial attached SCSI (SAS), DisplayPort, PCI Express, HDMI, thunderbolt, USB, MIPI, fiber channel, and others. Among these, the PCI express segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR through the forecast period. Servers, switches, and storage components are connected by AOCs via PCIe (PCIE). To facilitate connections between peripherals (such as graphics cards, memory/disk drives, and external IO cards) and the central processing unit (CPU), the PCI Express (PCIe) protocol supports a high-speed serial IO.
The QSFP segment is expected to dominate the global active optical cable and extender market during the forecast period.
Based on the form factor, the global active optical cable and extender market is divided into QSFP, QSFP-DD, OSPF/CFP8/COBO, SFP, SFP+, PCIE, CXP, and Others. Among these, the QSFP segment is expected to dominate the global active optical cable and extender market during the forecast period. Quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) supports high-speed data transmission in modern networks and data centers. The high capacity of QSFP modules which is especially valuable for bandwidth-intensive tasks is driving the market demand.
North America is projected to hold the largest share of the global active optical cable and extender market over the forecast period.
