After extensive market studies and planning, CRU Events will roll out the inaugural version of the APAC Optical Fibre and Cable Conference on October 14-16 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The conference will be hosted in conjunction with Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable (YOFC), and enjoys support from the key manufacturers in the fibre and cable industry.
The event is a unique opportunity to hear from China’s most influential executives and to meet over 300 professionals involved in the heart of the world’s fibre cable production in The China Optics Valley.
Currently, network operators are installing more than 300 million km of optical fibre, with the optical cable market valued at about US$10 billion. As the optical cable market has grown, it has become increasingly complex. In recent years, the fibre and cable manufacturers have introduced many new types of fibre and cable products, optimized for the performance and installation requirements of different applications.
One of the goals CRU has pursued in developing the conference program is to show the role of different fibre types in today’s communications markets. The conference will have representatives from many of the world’s top-tier fibre and cable manufacturers, willing to share their views about how and where the different fibre types will support tomorrow’s telecom network requirements.
The speaker programme features some of China’s top CEO’s, world leading producers as well as two of China’s biggest consumers, China Unicom and Research Institute China Mobile, who will make a keynote address on the opening day of the conference
