The 2026 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC 2026) was held in Los Angeles, USA from March 16 to 19 local time. Jiang Chengzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee, Executive Chairman of the Board and Industrial Chairman of Far East Holding Group, led a delegation to attend the exhibition, accompanied by Liu Yu, Senior Partner and Chief Technology & Quality Officer of Far East Smarter Energy, and Xu Hui, International Account Manager of Far East Smarter Energy.

OFC is the most important event in the global optoelectronic and optical communications exhibitions. It is currently recognized as the international event with the highest standard, largest scale, longest history, strongest professionalism and greatest influence in the field of optical communications.

The exhibition attracted the attention of the entire pan-tech industry. This top optical exhibition, once centered on the telecommunications industry, has now fully shifted to AI infrastructure. From booth layout to product launches, the imprint of AI is everywhere. According to Wallstreetcn, the focus of the exhibition was highly concentrated on one proposition: how to pack higher-density optical fibers into a smaller physical space to meet the bandwidth and low-latency requirements of AI data centers. Today, the back-end network, the connection between machines within data centers, has become an equally important or even more concerning field. At this conference, "more" is the key word running through it: more bandwidth, higher density, smaller size...

Far East Communications' full-industry-chain layout, from precise doping of optical fiber preforms to customized packaging of optical cables, is precisely in line with this era's proposition. With its vertically integrated capabilities of "preform - optical fiber - optical cable", it is solving the bandwidth bottlenecks and reliability challenges of computing power transmission in the AI era.

Based on the advanced VAD+RIC (Heraeus, Germany) and VAD+OVD process routes, Far East Communications has achieved large-scale mass production of G.657.A1/A2 optical fibers. Among them, G.657.A1 optical fiber covers all the characteristics of G.652.D fiber and has high resistance to additional loss caused by macro-bending. This single-mode fiber exhibits lower polarization mode dispersion (PMD), meeting the requirements of high-speed and long-distance transmission. Its excellent bending performance ensures its availability in the C-band, and it is easy to install, making it especially suitable for indoor applications with small bending radii and compact installation. The upgraded G.657.A2 optical fiber further reduces the bending radius to 7.5mm and the macro-bending loss to less than 0.5dB, enabling seamless compatibility with existing G.652.D systems. It is mainly used for spine-layer interconnection in computing centers, data center jumpers, FTTH/FTTR high-density cabling, intelligent buildings, FPV drones, industrial networks and special compact optical cables.

The multi-mode optical fibers developed by Far East Communications feature outstanding properties such as low transmission loss, high transmission bandwidth, excellent resistance to micro-bending, strong adaptability to multiple environments, and stable and reliable performance. They can also meet the low-latency and high-bandwidth requirements of AI training clusters, data centers and high-performance computing.

At this exhibition, hollow-core fiber was one of the most heated cutting-edge topics discussed at the conference. To meet the terabit-level transmission requirements of the next-generation computing power network, Far East Communications has already laid out in the hollow-core fiber sector. Far East Communications has made breakthroughs in hollow-core anti-resonant fiber technology. Its patented products adopt an alternating design of semicircular and circular glass embedded tubes, etc. In the future, it is likely to provide forward-looking transmission solutions for quantum computing and AI supercomputing centers.

With light as the vein and connection as the foundation, Far East Communications responds to the wave of high-speed optical interconnection in the AI era and empowers the comprehensive upgrade of global computing power new infrastructure.
