Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 cables to share many common design and physical elements, even though the actual electrical connectors will clearly be different. Since DisplayPort-enabled platforms are aimed more as the PC application segment, and are reaching the market substantially later than HDMI based units (i.e., HDTV’s), one can expect the overall market for DisplayPort AOCs to be much smaller than HDMI AOCs. In addition, many DisplayPort displays are intended for local desktop PCs, which inherently use shorter cables, and thus may be better served by copper cables in many instances. This relationship between demand for AOCs in HDMI vs. DisplayPort is well illustrated in the following Figures 5-6. The next two figures illustrate the segmentation of HDMI and DisplayPort AOCs based on overall bus speed in years 2009 and 2013. Since today’s market is entirely in the ~10Gbps spec range, all AOCs shipping are destined to be limited to that speed. However, as the two SIGs plan introduction of much faster versions of their interfaces over the next two years, we expect to see a substantial increase in overall AOC demand for both bus types, with a stronger emphasis on the 20Gbps versions where copper is less capable of serving the overall needs of the customer base.

Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 The costs of the optoelectronics devices used to create AOCs are expected to continue to decline as volume demand for these units grows over the rapidly expanding AOC products now entering the market. As more and more AOC product types ramp, material cost savings will help expand the overall market, helping make AOCs more ubiquitous. Make no mistake, copper cabling will still be around for many years, especially in the shorter cable versions, but we should start to see a shift towards optical interconnects which should only grow as systems OEMs continue to press for higher performance both inside and outside their boxes. While many people are attracted to wireless linkage of their equipment, in many cases a cable connection using AOCs will prove far more effective in terms of overall delivered bandwidth and connection reliability, especially in areas where real-time data delivery is critical. While we do not have the space in this article to cover the topic, link bit-error rates re becoming far more critical in many applications, from supercomputers to HD displays using one channel to transfer combined video plus audio traffic. Stay tuned as we prepare another article to address this critical performance element of all links, copper and AOC alike. 1 Contact Information Gatekeepers, Inc. at http://www.igigroup.com/ for further information on the January 2009 edition of the Active Optical Cables: Market Report 2009 2 Contact Solutions By Design (tbits@mac.com or KaanapaliTom@yahoo.com) for more information on PowerForecaster and related 3D forecast management tools. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
