As the speed of systems for telecommunications, computing, and storage continue to escalate, the need to interconnect components, circuit boards, equipment, racks, and bays of equipment, the need for interconnection to save weight, space and complexity increases almost exponentially.
Little has been done to resolve this situation but to squeeze more out of copper or to put in more coaxial cables. There is an urgent opportunity to provide a more efficient way to provide interconnection which is easier to install, is cheap, takes up less space and is scalable. POF is one of the possibilities. This report summarizes the interconnection technology, opportunities and provides a forecast of the interconnection market. |
