Active Optical Cable (AOC) に関する市場予想レポート (有償) です：

プレスリリース：

"New CIR Report Projects that Active Optical Cable (AOC) Market Will

 Reach $1.9 billion by 2016"

 June 13, 2011

  http://www.cir-inc.com/news/pr_detail.cfm?PRID=197

"Active Optical Cabling Markets: 2011 and Beyond"

 June 9, 2011, Pages: 90, CIR, Inc.

  http://www.cir-inc.com/products/prod_detail.cfm?prod=1&id=237

  "Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are still a niche market. CIR believes

   that they will generate less than $60 million in 2011 and these

   revenues will largely come from sales into the data center (and

   especially the InfiniBand) market. Nonetheless, AOCs remain the

   best way for markets where knowledge of fiber optic communications

   is scarce to derive the benefits of optical networking. Soon, other

   markets will pick up on how AOCs can help them shift towards fiber

   optics. These include not only a broad range of data communications

   applications, but also digital signage and various consumer

   electronics applications. CIR estimates that within five years,

   the worldwide AOC market will have reached $1.9 billion."

.....

  "... For such environments, we have developed the DuraDrive; 

   a line of Solid State Disks designed to perform in environments well

   beyond the standard consumer specifications. Containing no moving

   parts, an SSD naturally performs well in high-shock and high-vibration

   environments. This makes SSD great candidates for such installations,

   but temperature has always been a limiting factor. While most drives

   were designed to function in environments from 0℃ -> 70℃, the new

   DuraDrive has been specially designed to withstand operating

   temperatures from -40℃ -> +85℃."
