Published January 2011
Bishop
& Associates has just released a new 13-chapter research report
exploring the rapidly evolving technology and interface components
supporting data transmission via optical fiber. This report includes a
tutorial addressing the basics of optical transmission, as well as a
review of current and recently announced connectors offered by leading
suppliers. Typical applications in both military and commercial are
discussed.
Fiber optic links offers nearly unlimited high-speed bandwidth, improved
signal density and immunity to EMI, and crosstalk; all factors that are
highly desirable in today’s advanced communications and computing
equipment. Fiber strands the size of a hair can convey hundreds of
high-speed signals replacing bulky and heavy copper cables. The ability
to transmit signals many kilometers without amplification was
immediately adopted by the telecom industry in long-haul applications,
but wide market adoption in additional market segments has stumbled due
primarily to cost.
The immanent demise of copper has been predicted many times over the
years, but a combination of advanced chip technology together with
improvements in design for signal integrity has allowed engineers to
find ways to expand the practical bandwidth of copper. Costs associated
with the required electro-optic conversion process together with
connectors that require skilled technicians to successfully terminate
discouraged broad market conversion to fiber.

of Connector Types and Technologies Poised for Growth. This new report
addresses a list of 19 specific connector types that are expected to
experience greater than average growth in either volume or sales based
on the rapid expansion of markets for existing and new products that
utilize these interfaces. New technologies already driving the market
as well as emerging technologies that are poised to influence connector
design and/or application are reviewed. A discussion of market trends
that are changing the way electronic connectors are used is included.
Each connector type is defined with a product description including key
mechanical and electrical performance characteristics, as well as the
rational for its selection. Typical applications are also identified. A
global market value and forecast to 2013 documents our growth
expectations for each connector type.
Many of the selected interfaces have existed in the market for several
years, but emerging applications will propel their growth well beyond
that of the general connector market. Some legacy connector types, for
instance, are being adapted to high-speed differential signaling, which
will allow implementation in next-generation equipment. In other cases,
entirely new interfaces will show logarithmic percentage growth from
near zero as they are implemented in new high-volume applications.

Bishop and Associates has just released a seven chapter, 197 page report
providing an in-depth analysis for the “Post-Recession Outlook of the
Electronics Industry and Connectors – Roadmap 2009-2019”.
This new report is a roadmap study of the electronics industry and
connectors, with 90 tables and many photos and illustrations. Taking off
from work done on the 2009 iNEMI Roadmap, this study analyzes major
elements of the electronics industry that parallel, intersect and
influence connectors, and looks at the connector industry’s markets,
technology and forecasts major product roadmaps from 2009-2019. Compiled
during, and influenced by the 2008-2009 recession, the report analyzes
how the industry will move forward from the current point in time, and
forecasts markets from 2007-2013 and gives a long-range outlook to 2019,
including the impact of a slowing IC technology – a critical driver for
connector technology and demand.
Deep recessionary forces facing electronics were caused by forces
external to the industry – not by boom and bust cycles in the industry
such as happened in 2000. The 2008-2009 recession was caused by a crisis
in the financial and housing sectors, followed by a credit crunch and
stock market plunge that shut off demand for products and services.
