Sachsenkabel in the media

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH is responding to the growing demand for fiber optic solutions in the telecommunications sector, especially in broadband expansion, and is expanding its manufacturing capacities for the European market. The company has established a business unit in a production facility of the parent company Amphenol in Kočani in North Macedonia.
In the future, the main activities here will be the assembly of fiber optic cables and connectors (LC, SC, MPO) as well as the assembly of fiber optic components such as splice boxes for broadband expansion. Through this expansion, Sachsenkabel consolidates its position as a reliable manufacturer of fiber optic solutions for telecommunications and takes an important step towards internationalization.

Technologies of the future require low latency – OFS’ patented air core fiber reduces this by around 30 %

Regardless of whether it’s Industry 4.0, virtual reality, autonomous driving or 5G applications (to name just a few) – future technologies require low latencies for data-based decisions. Even today, low latencies play a crucial role in high-frequency trading.

Hollow Core Fiber (HCF fiber), developed and patented by OFS Fitel, LLC., transmits light signals over an air core instead of the silica-based core previously used for optical fiber. Based on this technology, data can be transmitted with a time savings of 1.5 microseconds per kilometer. The air-core fiber is thus ideally suited for applications with high-speed data transmission, e.g. also in data centers.

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH is the first European distributor of the patented AccuCore HCF™ hollow core fiber from OFS Fitel, LLC.
