Global 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 353 million in 2025 to US$ 1159 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) production reached approximately 600.9 k units with an average global market price of around US$ 600 per unit. The production capacity for 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) in 2025 was approximately 700 k units. The typical gross profit margin for 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) is between 20% and 40%. The 800G Active Electrical Cable (AEC) is a high-speed copper interconnect solution that integrates active signal-conditioning chips, such as retimers or equalizers, within the cable assembly. It is primarily used for 800G Ethernet, AI servers, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections. Compared with passive DACs, 800G AECs compensate for high-frequency insertion loss and crosstalk in copper cables, enabling longer reach—typically 2 to 5 meters or more—while maintaining low latency, relatively low power consumption, and a cost advantage over optical solutions in the 112G SerDes era.
The 800G AEC market is experiencing rapid growth driven by the expansion of AI training clusters, hyperscale data centers, and the transition to 800G Ethernet. Enabled by 112G SerDes, next-generation 800G switches, and AI accelerators, AECs serve as a critical middle-ground solution between passive DACs and optical interconnects in short-reach applications. While AECs have higher power consumption and cost than passive DACs, their extended reach and improved signal integrity make them increasingly attractive for 2–5 meter interconnects in AI servers and HPC racks, positioning them as a key growth segment in the 800G copper interconnect market.
