Product Definition:
A direct attach cable is a copper cable that is used to connect two network devices, typically servers, in a data center. DAC cables are often used to connect servers to switches or storage devices. The use of DAC cables can improve performance and reduce the amount of cabling required in a data center.
SFP:
Super flexible fiber optic cables are used for data transmission over long distances. They are capable of operating at a range of frequencies from 10 Gbps to 400 Gbps and can support single-mode or multi-mode operation. SFP is the term used for short, which stands for Super Flexible Plastic Optical Fiber.
SFP+:
SFP+ is a type of optical fiber cable that has a small-form-factor pluggable optic at one end and a SFP transceiver at the other. It provides higher bandwidth, greater distance, and lower cost over traditional copper cables. The technology was developed by Ciena in 2006 as an upgrade to SFP (Small Form Factor pluggable) which was introduced in 2003.
Application Insights:
The telecom application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is projected to continue leading over the forecast period. The growing demand for data transmission and communication services across various industries is expected to be a major factor driving growth.
Telecom companies are focusing on increasing their fiber optic cable network infrastructure at a global level in order to provide enhanced internet services to their customers. This, in turn, will drive product demand over the coming years. Direct attach cables have been witnessing significant adoption from telecom companies that offer high-speed internet access through cable TV connections or landline phones with broadband Internet service providers (ISP).
The datacom application segment was valued at USD 1,227.1 million in 2016 owing to wide usage of direct attach cables within data centers especially within server rooms.
Regional Analysis:
The North American region dominated the market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its position over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing investments in data centers, rising demand for high-speed internet, and rapid adoption of digital services. Moreover, presence of key players such as Corning Incorporated; Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.; Infineon Technologies AG; Maxim Integrated Products Inc.; Netlist, LLC; Silicon Lab S.A.; Texas Instruments Incorporated is also contributing towards regional growth.
Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing number of service providers opting for direct attach cables due to their superior performance characteristics as compared to traditional fiber optic cables including lower power consumption and higher bandwidth capacity with same size & type connector pluggingsupporting standards such as ITU-T G.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-speed data transmission: The growth of data-intensive applications such as big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things is fueling the demand for high-speed data transmission. Direct attach cables are ideal for transmitting high-bandwidth signals and offer a faster alternative to traditional copper cables.
- Proliferation of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE): 10GbE is becoming increasingly popular in enterprise networks due to its ability to handle large amounts of traffic quickly and efficiently. As more organizations adopt 10GbE, the demand for DACs will grow accordingly.
- Growing popularity of server virtualization: Server virtualization allows businesses to run multiple operating systems on a single physical server, resulting in increased efficiency and cost savings. As more organizations turn to server virtualization, they will need products that can support this technology – which DACs can do effectively.
