TMC Makes Initial Supply of Optical Communication Cables to Amphenol, Accelerates Entry into U.S. Market

TMC, a global specialist in special cables, announced on March 17 that it has made its initial supply of optical communication cables for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) internet network construction to Amphenol, one of the world's top optical cable connector companies.

This initial supply amounts to approximately 2 million dollars, and starting with this, TMC expects to generate annual revenue of over 10 million dollars in the U.S. market this year.

Amphenol is a global communications solutions company with major U.S. telecommunications firms as clients. The fact that TMC's products have met the quality standards of a leading global communications infrastructure company is seen as a symbolic achievement marking TMC's entry into the market.

AT&T, a leading U.S. telecommunications company, has announced plans to invest around 250 billion dollars over the next five years to build next-generation high-speed communications infrastructure across the United States. This kind of large-scale investment in telecom infrastructure is expected to lead to increased demand across the entire supply chain, including optical communication cables and network equipment. TMC is expected to directly benefit from the expansion of network investments by major telecom operators such as AT&T in the future.

TMC cables are recognized for their competitive edge in both quality-delivering stable performance even in extreme environments-and price. This competitiveness has translated into actual supply achievements, and TMC's product strength has also been acknowledged in the U.S. market.

TMC has established an optical cable manufacturing plant in Dallas, Texas, and began full-scale operations at the end of last year. By building a local production system, the company has secured supply stability and price competitiveness, which are expected to further strengthen its position in response to U.S. tariff policies and the BABA (Build America, Buy America Act).

A TMC representative stated, "This supply to Amphenol is a case where TMC's optical communication cable technology and quality competitiveness have been recognized in the global market. We plan to further target the North American telecommunications infrastructure market based on our local production base in the U.S. and actively secure the benefits of market growth resulting from major telecom operators such as AT&T expanding their large-scale network investments."
