2018全球AOC市场将超14亿美元 中国厂商正改变格局

       【讯石光通讯咨询网】来自CIR的有源光缆（AOC）市场研究报告显示，到2018年全球有源光缆（AOC）市场将达14.25亿美元，其中非数据中心市场应用约为2.25亿美元，数据中心市场应用约为5亿美元，数字标牌（Digital Signage）市场应用超过数据中心市场应用达到7亿美元。

       有源光缆（AOC）在标识系统和数据中心应用中的优势将超越铜缆

       报告指出，铜缆解决方案将长期存在，不过情况会逐渐改变。多个未压缩视频流的带宽需求正在推动标牌厂商转向光纤。视频处理OEM厂商已经与有源光缆（AOC）厂商结盟。有源光缆（AOC）能与昂贵的USB3.0屏蔽双绞线电缆竞争。Corning已经推出一款光学USB3.0扩展产品。

       现阶段，数据中心管理者正在最大化利用其现有设施。CIR认为有源光缆（AOC）有市场，因为它能提供更高的数率（在存储设备和服务器之间），从而优化现有的基础设施。CIR预计在大数据应用等新需求推动下，应用于数据中心的有源光缆（AOC）销售在今后两年（2014-2015）会快速增长。未来数据中心应用的有源光缆（AOC）将集中在40Gbps，100Gbps和高速InfiniBand。

       来自中国的有源光缆（AOC）：我们不得不承认，他们渐入佳境

       CIR表示，来自中国的有源光缆（AOC）市场新进入者目前提供的产品质量已经可以与发达国家老牌厂商竞争，这将显著改变有源光缆（AOC）市场的厂商份额。

       CIR的报告中还分析了以下有源光缆（AOC）厂商情况：10GTEK、3M、Avago、C2G、Chromis、FCI、Fiberon、Finisar、Gigac、GigaLight（易飞扬）、Hitachi Cable（日立电缆）、Mellanox、Molex、OneStop、Samtec、Siemon、Sumitomo、TE Connectivity、VIA和Volex。
