Posted May 6, 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3dbe36/the_active_optical) has announced the addition of the "The Active Optical Cable Market Analysis & Forecast Report" report to their offering.

Active Optical Cables (AOCs) emerged on the communications and consumer electronics scenes only very recently, the result of collaboration among key market players like IBM, Intel and Sun Microsystems to eliminate shortcomings in existing transceiver and copper interconnect solutions, such as high power consumption, heavyweight and long latency. The cost and feature benefits of AOCs proved valuable enough to create a noteworthy market segment in 2009, despite the general economic downturn and executives' initial skepticism concerning the scope of influence for AOCs.

Given the growing significance of the AOC market, and the need to address the perhaps overblown claims circulating in the media regarding the impact of this segment on the wider market, the publisher has chosen to add the AOC market to its growing list of researched markets to forecast. Taking into consideration the profiles of key vendors, current statistics for AOC implementation and sales, and forces driving the development of AOC and similar new technologies, the report paints a clear and compelling picture of this fledgling market as it now stands and forecasts the trajectory of this market through 2015. AOCs are poised to become a disruptive force among telecommunications and datacom markets and transceiver markets; technical innovations from this segment are promising, though applications in consumer electronics are not predicted before 2013.

Technologies using AOCs are creating new products in Embedded Optical Modules, and new parallel optic transceivers. AOC products developed for the HPC area are rippling down to the commercial datacenter and eventually to consumer applications.
