【訊石光通訊咨詢網】來自CIR的有源光纜（AOC）市場研究報告顯示，到2018年全球有源光纜（AOC）市場將達14.25億美元，其中非數據中心市場應用約為2.25億美元，數據中心市場應用約為5億美元，數字標牌（Digital Signage）市場應用超過數據中心市場應用達到7億美元。

       有源光纜（AOC）在標識系統和數據中心應用中的優勢將超越銅纜

       報告指出，銅纜解決方案將長期存在，不過情況會逐漸改變。多個未壓縮視頻流的帶寬需求正在推動標牌廠商轉向光纖。視頻處理OEM廠商已經與有源光纜（AOC）廠商結盟。有源光纜（AOC）能與昂貴的USB3.0屏蔽雙絞線電纜競爭。Corning已經推出一款光學USB3.0擴展產品。

       現階段，數據中心管理者正在最大化利用其現有設施。CIR認為有源光纜（AOC）有市場，因為它能提供更高的數率（在存儲設備和服務器之間），從而優化現有的基礎設施。CIR預計在大數據應用等新需求推動下，應用于數據中心的有源光纜（AOC）銷售在今后兩年（2014-2015）會快速增長。未來數據中心應用的有源光纜（AOC）將集中在40Gbps，100Gbps和高速InfiniBand。

       來自中國的有源光纜（AOC）：我們不得不承認，他們漸入佳境

       CIR表示，來自中國的有源光纜（AOC）市場新進入者目前提供的產品質量已經可以與發達國家老牌廠商競爭，這將顯著改變有源光纜（AOC）市場的廠商份額。

       CIR的報告中還分析了以下有源光纜（AOC）廠商情況：10GTEK、3M、Avago、C2G、Chromis、FCI、Fiberon、Finisar、Gigac、GigaLight（易飛揚）、Hitachi Cable（日立電纜）、Mellanox、Molex、OneStop、Samtec、Siemon、Sumitomo、TE Connectivity、VIA和Volex。
