The global active optical cable market size was worth around USD 3.82 billion in 2023 and is predicted to grow to around USD 10.65 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 13.80% between 2024 and 2032.
Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are hybrid cable assemblies that combine optical fiber transmission with electronic signal conversion in one integrated connector. They offer better transmission for high-performance computing, data centers, and consumer electronics. Modern AOC technology supports HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, and Ethernet protocols, with better signal integrity, EMI resistance, and longer reach than copper cables. Recent advancements include lower power consumption, smaller form factor, and multi-protocol support to enable seamless connectivity across different environments.
