Active Optical Cable Market Segmentation:
Form Factor Segment Analysis
The active optical cable market for the PCIE segment is set to hold a share of 34% during the foreseen period on account of its increasing use in personal PCs. The central processor unit (CPU) and peripherals (graphics cards, memory/disk drives, and external IO cards) can be connected at fast speeds using the PCI Express (PCIe) interface. PCIe is used by AOCs to connect switches, servers, and storage components. Cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), fifth-generation mobile networks (5G), and artificial intelligence (AI) all gained traction in the industry in 2019.
GarterTM launched the AI-powered productivity revolution in 2022. PCIe 5.0 represents more than 10% of the PCIe 4.0 market. By minimizing or doing away with the quantity of protocol converter chips, they can reduce the total cost of the system. They are utilized in data centers, HPC, and consumer electronics and interface with PCIe. PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 are the most widely used versions of PCIe, and they all offer faster transfer rates. The data rate per lane is indicated by the version number; the most recent PCIe 5.0 supports 32 GT/s (Giga transfers per second) per lane.
Protocol Segment Analysis
InfiniBand segment in the active optical cable market is poised to hold a share of 30% by the end of 2035. One of the main factors driving the growth of the InfiniBand segment is the increasing acceptance of this cutting-edge product in extremely efficient computing machines. In the upcoming years, the necessity for various organizations to develop data centers has grown, which has created an opportunity for the segment.
Almost all of the major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS, AIX, HPUX, VMWare, VxWorks, and BSD, have support for InfiniBand. Furthermore, server-related technology is projected to be invented more frequently in the upcoming years, leading to the InfiniBand segment rising gradually between 2024 and 2035. For instance, when paired with NVIDIA HGX, InfiniBand—which is thought to be essential for achieving the scale and performance required for training LLMs—forms the fundamental architecture of AI supercomputers and data center infrastructures.
