Dublin, March 30, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Active Optical Cable Market, by Protocol (InfiniBand, Ethernet, Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS), and Others) Form Factor (QSFP, CXP, and Others), End-user Application (Data center, Electronics, Others), and Geography - Global Trends & Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.

The active optical cable market is estimated to exhibit high growth till 2022. The overall market is expected to reach USD 3.43 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 27.1% between 2016 and 2022. Increase adaption in the data center market as well as the digital signage industry is expected to drive the active optical cable market.

Data center is expected to lead the end user application of the active optical cable market. The growing demand for active optical cable in data center, worldwide is one of the key drivers of the market. The data center market also needs a broad portfolio of fiber optic modules to connect servers, switches, and storage, which is accomplished by active optical cable. Therefore, increase in the deployment of data center is a key driver of active optical cable market.

InfiniBand protocol is highly used protocols among others. It is scalable and supports quality of service (QOS) as well as it is highly efficient among other protocols. The interface of this protocol in commercial applications such as server and supercomputers are playing a key role in the market growth.

Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) form factor are highly used in the active optical cable due to increasing usage in the data center market. QSFP active optical cables are designed to have high performance, low power consumption, and long reach. These type of cables are perfect for high density signal transmission in data centers and high performance computing applications among others.

CDFP (400 Form Factor Pluggable) is a new form factor capable of transmitting high data rates while consuming low power. It meet the industry needs by advancing technologies and providing products that are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. It is growing at the highest rate in the active optical cable market.
