To tackle the core bottleneck of optical preforms in the optical fiber industry, Far East has taken the lead in completing the full industrial chain layout covering optical fiber – optical preform – optical cable. It has broken the technological monopoly of overseas manufacturers and realized large-scale mass production of optical preforms and optical fibers, achieving independent controllability of core links from the source. Meanwhile, it has formed full-chain advantages in cost and quality covering R&D, production and delivery.

The short videos you browse, the AI large models you access, and the 5G networks you use all rely on an invisible "information expressway" — optical communication. It transmits massive data at the speed of light and serves as the core infrastructure for AI, cloud computing and the digital economy. Optical fibers and cables are the fundamental foundation of this expressway and an irreplaceable physical carrier for optical signal transmission. In 2026, the arms race of AI large models has intensified dramatically, global cloud manufacturers have substantially increased investment in data center construction, the in-depth coverage of 5G and forward-looking layout of 6G are advancing simultaneously, and the optical communication industry is embracing an inevitable explosive growth. As the core foundation of the entire optical communication chain, the optical fiber and cable sector also faces brand-new opportunities transforming from scale expansion to high-end upgrading.

The current prosperity of the optical fiber and cable industry is not a short-term trend, but the result of long-term resonance among demand, technology and policy. In this core track related to the security and development of the digital economy, Far East has been deeply engaged for many years. It has built solid industrial barriers with five major advantages: full layout in AIDC all-optical interconnection track, independent R&D and self-production of the entire preform-fiber-cable industrial chain, outstanding first-mover edge in hollow-core optical fibers, large-scale verification by global leading CSP customers, and rapid capacity expansion both domestically and internationally.

To meet the full-scenario demands of the optical communication industry, Far East has built a complete product portfolio covering telecommunications, data communication and special fields. For the backbone network and long-distance transmission demands of the "East Data, West Computing" project, it launches low-loss G.652.D and ultra-low-loss G.654.E single-mode optical fibers to support cross-regional computing power scheduling. For broadband upgrading needs, it provides high-performance access network optical fibers adapting to network iteration from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit. For AI data centers, it releases OM4/OM5 series high-density multimode optical fibers and bend-insensitive G.657.A1 & G.657.A2 single-mode optical fibers, perfectly matching the transmission requirements of 800G/1.6T high-speed optical modules. Meanwhile, in terms of cutting-edge technology layout, it develops special optical fiber products such as hollow-core anti-resonant optical fibers. While maintaining low-loss characteristics, these products can reduce optical signal transmission latency by about 30%, effectively expand the transmission bandwidth to the full band of 1260-1625nm, and are regarded as the next-generation transmission solution for Tera-bit level computing power networks.

Since 2024, Far East has possessed mature production capacity with an annual output of 300 tons of RIC optical preforms and 10 million core-kilometers of optical fibers, and continued to expand production capacity in 2025. By June 2026, the company’s annual production capacity of optical preforms will reach 800 tons, and the annual optical fiber capacity will hit 26 million core-kilometers. By 2027, on the basis of expanded preform production, the annual optical fiber capacity will double to 52 million core-kilometers, ranking among the world’s top suppliers in this field and laying a solid foundation for the explosive demand of AI computing power and data centers. With solid technological strength and product quality, Far East’s optical fiber and cable products have been exported to many countries and regions overseas, making it not only a core supplier for domestic digital infrastructure, but also an important force for China’s optical communication industry to go global.

Driven by operator infrastructure construction to AI computing power, the optical communication industry is undergoing a historic transformation. With independent controllability of the full industrial chain, Far East consolidates the underlying security foundation for the construction of Digital China, and continuously contributes to the global breakthrough of China's optical communication industry.
