YOFC Showcases Groundbreaking Innovations at 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition

The Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) took center stage at the 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) held from September 10 to 12, 2025, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Under the compelling theme “Optical Fibre Leads the Way, AI Shapes the Future,” YOFC showcased cutting-edge solutions tailored to six critical application areas: AI Intelligent Computing Hub, Specialized Optical Communications, Intellisense, Industrial Laser, All-Optical Intelligent Vehicle, and Sustainable Lighting. Each product area highlighted the company’s leadership in optical innovation and its ongoing mission to shape the future of connectivity and sustainability.

AI Computing Hub: Meeting the Soaring Demand for Connectivity

As global AI adoption accelerates, the demand for robust computing infrastructure has reached unprecedented levels. YOFC’s AI Intelligent Computing Hub addresses this challenge head-on with an impressive suite of technologies that seamlessly combine hollow-core and multi-core optical fibres, high-performance multimode optical fibres, high-density integrated cabling, and state-of-the-art 400G/800G/1.6T optical transceivers. This advanced portfolio offers ultra-high bandwidth, low-latency connectivity, and unparalleled scalability, enabling service providers and enterprises to adapt to AI-driven workloads with unmatched efficiency. These innovations position YOFC as a pivotal player in building the high-capacity AI-ready network infrastructures that power next-generation digital economies.

Specialized Optical Communications: Solutions for Complex Applications

Innovation has been at the core of YOFC’s growth strategy since 2014, and this year’s CIOE saw the company elevate its optical communication offerings once again. Among the highlights were upgrades to its renowned active fibre series, including erbium-doped fibre (EDF), erbium–ytterbium co-doped fibre (EYDF), and radiation-resistant versions. These products deliver exceptional performance with support for ultra-high-speed, high-capacity, long-distance communications. Additionally, YOFC’s polarization-maintaining fibres and advanced single-mode fibres provide a comprehensive optical solution set for intricate application needs, offering robust connectivity even in demanding operating conditions, such as oil exploration and subsea monitoring.

Optical Technology Driving Mobility and Sustainability

YOFC’s contributions to the automotive industry were equally groundbreaking. With the launch of the All-Optical Intelligent Vehicle solution, the company offers integrated in-vehicle optical fibre communication systems, automotive lighting, and LiDAR amplifiers. These systems not only enhance connectivity and safety but also optimize energy consumption and lower vehicle maintenance costs, paving the way for smarter, more sustainable mobility solutions. In tandem, YOFC has also demonstrated its commitment to environmental sustainability through its Intelligent Sunlight Collecting System. This innovative solution channels natural light indoors using optical fibre, reducing electricity reliance in buildings, rail stations, and residential spaces, thus supporting global carbon neutrality goals.

YOFC’s Commitment to Digital Transformation

Through its ambitious diversification strategy, YOFC has expanded its footprint into numerous advanced optical technologies, creating a vibrant technology ecosystem that spans industrial lasers, optical devices, marine engineering, and more. Its new industrial laser platform, VortexCore, represents another leap forward by delivering unmatched precision and performance in manufacturing automation. Zhuang Dan, Executive Director and President of YOFC, emphasized the company’s dedication to driving digital transformation and enhancing global digital economies, stating, “Building on our expertise in optical fibre, YOFC is committed to innovating scalable solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers while strengthening the digital economy worldwide.”

As the intelligent era unfolds at an accelerated pace, YOFC remains at the forefront of optical fibre innovation, offering cost-effective, sustainable, and high-performance solutions that redefine connectivity across industries. With its diverse portfolio, YOFC is not only shaping the future of digital networks but also ensuring robust support for global sustainability initiatives.
