Product Definition:
An Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) is a fiber optic device that is used to switch optical signals between different fiber optic cables. The importance of an Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) is that it allows for the switching of optical signals, which can then be routed to the correct destination. This allows for greater flexibility when it comes to routing optical signals, and can help improve network efficiency.
Fiber Cross-Connect(FXC):
Fiber cross-connect (FXC) is a technology that enables optical fiber cables to be connected directly, without going through amplifiers and repeaters. It helps in increasing the capacity of network by eliminating multiple connections between devices at different locations. Fiber cross-connect provides high bandwidth and low latency which are required for fast data transmission.
Wavelength Selective Cross-Connect(WSXC):
Wavelength selective cross-connect (WSXC) is a technology that enables wavelength division multiplexing of optical signals over a single fiber optic. It helps in the construction of high-capacity, low cost, and highly reliable long distance networks. The technology provides benefits such as increased capacity and reduced signal loss along with lower power consumption & simpler management requirements.
Application Insights:
The opaque optical cross-connects segment dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the growing demand for high-speed data transfer and communication services across networks. OOXC is widely used by service providers and enterprises to interconnect their network segments, allowing them to offer a seamless end-user experience while retaining control over network operations.
The transparent optical cross-connects segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its ability provide cost savings through reduced operational costs as compared with electronic switching technologies. Furthermore, it provides enhanced flexibility for service providers and enterprise organizations that are looking forward towards innovative business solutions while maintaining their existing infrastructure investments.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The regional market is anticipated to be driven by increasing demand for high-speed data communication networks and robust manufacturing sector growth in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia. Moreover rising government initiatives such as “Make in India†campaign by the Indian government are expected to boost product adoption across various application segments including telecommunication industry.
The European optical cross-connect market was valued at USD X million in 2016 owing to early technology adoption of OXCs along with presence of prominent players such as Corning Incorporated (U.S.), Silixa AG (Germany), Vitesse Semiconductor GmbH & Co.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bandwidth due to the growth of data-intensive applications such as big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to drive the growth of optical cross-connect market.
- Proliferation of 5G networks is anticipated to create new opportunities for optical cross-connect market in near future.
- The increasing demand for fiber optic connectivity and rising number of data centers are also expected to fuel the growth of optical cross-connect market in coming years.
- Growing popularity of software defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) is projected to boost the adoption rateof optical cross connect solutions over next few years .
