What it does

YOFC (Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable) is a Wuhan-based maker of optical fiber preforms, optical fiber and cable, plus specialty fiber, submarine cable, optical transceivers and data-center cabling. It is listed in both Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Why it matters

Fiber and cable are the physical links between and inside data centers, and YOFC is one of China's largest producers; but most of its business is telecom and broadband networks, so AI is not yet its primary economic driver.

How it makes money

Sells fiber preforms, fiber, cable and related products to telecom carriers, network builders and data-center operators in China and more than 100 other countries and regions.
