Most networking switches today are still based on electronic signals and are also known as electro-optic. These switches convert photons to electrons internally to do the switching and then converts electron back to photons which becomes complicated and time-consuming.
Therefore, the low cost and high-performance fiber optic switch are developed. This fiber optic switches are cost-effective optical switches with high performance and flexibility. Due to low insertion loss and wavelength dependent loss, these fiber optic switches are in huge demand by manufacturers in the market.
A fiber optic switch is used as a communication control device in different applications across different sectors and widely used in optical fiber networking. In computer networking and communications, a fiber optic switch is used as a circuit switching equipment placed between fibers to send and receive data transmissions as well as to determine where each data packet needs to go, much like a common networking switch as it offers high speed and bandwidth in networking using fiber optic technology.
Nowadays, fiber optical switches provided by manufacturers are flexible and offers high bandwidth that leads to rapid switching time.
Rapid switching time and low insertion loss are some of the primary factors that are expected to boost the fiber optic switch market.
The cost of fiber optic switches is very high and are without stacked capacity which can hamper the growth of fiber optic switch market.
Examples of some of the key players in the global fiber optic switch market Fibertronics Inc., Honeywell International Inc., UTEL, Black Box Network Services, Fibersystem AB, Agiltron Inc., Laser Components, and Sercalo Microtechnology Limited, etc.
The fiber optic switch market is dominated by North America followed by the Asia Pacific and Western Europe. The market in North America is expected to be the most significant contributor in this market due to the vast presence of prominent players. Also, the demand for the fiber optic switch in Western Europe is increasing and is expected to contribute to the market growth.
The primary growth factor is the development of advanced fiber optic switches for optical fiber networking and communications. Latin America and MEA are projected to contribute a significant share in the global market over the forecast period.
