What it does

Eoptolink is a Chinese maker of optical transceiver modules, the small plug-in units that turn electrical signals into light so data can travel over fiber between servers and switches.

Why it matters

High-speed 400G, 800G and 1.6T optical modules link GPUs and switches inside AI data centers, and Eoptolink is one of China's largest suppliers of them; NVIDIA named it among industry leaders supporting pluggable optical transceiver technologies for its networking. Almost all of its revenue comes from exports, which exposes it to US trade restrictions.

How it makes money

Cloud, data-center and telecom equipment buyers pay it for optical transceiver modules and subsystems.
