Active optical cables are transceiver products that incorporate active electrical and optical components to receive and boost signals through fiber optical cables. These cables consist of multi-mode optical fiber, a transceiver, a control chip, and modules. They convert electrical signals into optical for the transmission of data and video communications over long and short distances between sources and displays. Active optical cables are widely used in personal computing, data centers, digital signage, consumer electronics, and high-performance computing. These cables are lightweight, help in reducing bulkiness, and offer higher bandwidth and enhanced performance with low power consumption. In comparison to attach copper cables, active optical cables eliminate the need for an external optical transceiver and offer resistance to electromagnetic interference.

Active Optical Cable Market Trends:
The increasing demand for consumer electronics across the globe is the one of the prime factors driving the market growth. In line with this, the increasing demand for lightweight and thinner designed active optical cables due to the miniaturization of consumer electronics that offer high-quality video resolution displays is favoring the market growth. Moreover, various technological advancements, such as the introduction of network-function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) that assist in reducing network power consumption and provide enhanced life cycles for network hardware, are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Additionally, the widespread adoption of active optical cables due to their enhanced virtualized connectivity minimized errors and cost-effectiveness is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, such as the significant growth in the telecom industry and implementation of various government initiatives to improve the network infrastructure, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
