As global data traffic grows, added demand is being put on the world’s communication networks. To address those demands, high-speed optical transceivers, flexible and scalable optical transport products, compact connectors and fiber management are all vital capabilities to build high-bandwidth and high-density equipment to serve telecom, enterprise and hyperscale data centers.
As interest in cloud-based applications, video-on-demand services and 5G networks grow, these areas will also push added fiber optic applications growth. Beyond data center and telecom, optical fiber is also growing in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical and oil and gas.
