Market Definition

An active optical cable (AOC) technology uses optical fiber between the connectors. AOC is ideal for data centers, storage networks, and high-performance computing applications. This cable overcomes many drawbacks of copper wires. It relies on electrical-to-optical conversion and is used to improve the speed and distance performance of the network. It is lightweight, small, EMI resistant, and has higher speed data communication than the copper cable. An extension optical cable, also known as an optical fiber extension cable, is an active and passive cable used to extend the reach of an optical fiber connection between two devices or locations. It is designed to transmit data, signals, or information using light pulses through optical fibers.
