The following four charts illustrate the overall active optical cable mark<strong>et</strong> segmentation by application type any by<br />
bus interface speed. Separate charts are given for Years 2009 vs. 2013 so one can identify shifts in mark<strong>et</strong> share<br />
over this time period. Careful readers will refer to the next section to see the breakout by display interface bus, as<br />
the PC figures shown below include three different types of AOCs (USB, HDMI, and <strong>Display</strong>Port). Figures 3 & 4<br />
give the reader a sense of the growing importance of AOCs as bus speeds continue to increase (note the 76% share<br />
for 20 Gbps AOCs in 2013).<br />
Figure 1 (on the left): Unit share by application (2009 all platforms); Figure 2 (on the right): UnitsShare by<br />
application (2013 all platforms)<br />

application (2013 all platforms)<br />
HDMI and <strong>Display</strong>Port active optical cables: From a physical perspective, HDMI and <strong>Display</strong>Port share many<br />
similar aspects. Both are currently running at slightly over 10Gbps for their primary digital data channel, both<br />
involve four lanes for this high-speed data path, and data transfer on this path in unidirectional. Both interfaces do<br />
employ a secondary sideband communications and control path, in the form of a single, bi-directional lane<br />
operating at much lower data rates than the primary channel. As such, one can expect the respective active optical<br />
