    According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Modules market size was valued at US$ 831 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3591 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 21.5% during review period.
    In 2025, global Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Modules production reached approximately 1600.9 k units with an average global market price of around US$ 504.5 per unit. The production capacity for Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Modules in 2025 was approximately 1700 k units. The typical gross profit margin for Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Modules is between 20% and 40%.
    Active Electrical Cable (AEC) modules are high-speed interconnect components that integrate copper cabling with embedded signal conditioning electronics, such as retimers or re-drivers, and are enclosed in standard transceiver-style pluggable modules (e.g., QSFP-DD, OSFP). They are designed for medium-reach, low-latency, and cost-effective data transmission—typically up to 5–7 meters—in AI data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud infrastructure.
    Active Electrical Cable (AEC) modules are high-speed copper interconnect solutions that integrate active signal-conditioning chips—such as retimers or linear drivers—at both cable ends. They are widely used in data centers, AI servers, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems to enable short- to mid-reach data transmission at 400G, 800G, and higher speeds. Compared with passive DACs, AECs significantly improve signal integrity through active equalization, amplification, and jitter compensation, extending reach while retaining the low latency, lower power consumption, and cost advantages of copper, positioning AECs as a key interconnect option between DAC and AOC.
    The AEC modules market is experiencing rapid growth driven by the expansion of AI servers, high-speed Ethernet (400G/800G), and hyperscale cloud data centers. As bandwidth density within and between racks continues to increase, traditional passive DACs face limitations in reach and signal integrity, positioning AECs as a cost-effective solution with extended reach for data rates above 400G. Demand is primarily fueled by hyperscale data centers, AI training clusters, and HPC systems, with key ecosystem participants including connector manufacturers, cable suppliers, and high-speed SerDes and retimer chip vendors. Overall, the market remains in a fast adoption and penetration phase.
