MarketReseachReports.com,
a leading market research publication distribution platform, today announced
the release of a new market forecast of
the consumption of field terminated fiber optic fusion splice-on
connectors in North America.
Field terminated fiber optic fusion Splice On
Connectors (SOC) are installed for rapid repairs or for limited
space situations where pre-terminated fiber cabling may be difficult, such as
when the cable assembly needs to pass through small openings such as
conduit. The splice-on connectors are an
option when the precise length of the optical fiber link is not pre-determined
and a field-installed termination solution is required, such as in Fiber to the
Home (FTTH) and other communication applications.
Last year,
306-thousand field-terminated fiber optic fusion splice-on connectors were
installed in non-OEM applications in North America. The number of connectors is forecast to
increase at an explosive rate of 41.9% per year, reaching 2.49 million units in
2020. Market forecast data in this study
report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore,
this data is not cumulative data.
The
Telecommunications application category is forecast to maintain the leadership
in relative market share through the year 2018, until the Premises Networks
application category is set to capture the lead. Telecommunication use is forecast for 35.5% annual
growth in quantity (2014-2020), mainly driven by access optical fiber
deployment. The Cable TV application is
also driven by the use of connectors for FTTH (Home) and FTTB (Building/MDUs –
Multiple Dwelling Units).
The market
forecast segments the connectors by single-mode and multimode optical fiber, as
well as into the following types: MPO, LC, FC, ST, SC, and other. The
use of single mode fiber optic field-terminated fusion splice-on
connectors in North America is forecast to increase from 173.8-thousand units
in 2014 to 1.49 million in 2020. Multimode fiber is best suited for use in
short lengths, such as those used in datacom and specialty networks and
in 2020, multimode connectors are expected to reach 1-million units.
“In 2014 in North America, 4.3-thousand new fusion splicers were brought
into Premises Datacom, and the use of field terminated fusion splice on
connectors is a major market driver for the use of fiber optic fusion splicers
used in premises network applications, the data center (DC) and longer link
length datacom cable installations,” analyst.
“The SOCs are emerging as a viable
alternative to pre-terminated fiber optic cables (pigtail and cable assemblies/
patch cords). Also, based on primary
research interviews with network planners and installers, we are finding that
field terminated fusion splice-on connectors are rapidly being accepted as a
go-to solution. With SOCs, communication
network technicians can install reliable cable links with exact lengths,
eliminating cable shortness or excess slack that is typically a result with the
pre-terminated cable solution,” analyst added.
