About Optical Cable

Optical Cable helps connect businesses, schools, and military sites with reliable data cables. Its fiber optic and copper products support fast, secure communication. These solutions keep networks running smoothly in offices, factories, and harsh environments.

Wired Wonders: What Optical Cable Sells

  • Fiber optic cables: High-speed cables for data, video, and voice, used in offices and industrial sites.
  • Copper datacom cables: Traditional wiring for network connections in commercial and residential buildings.
  • Connectivity products: Enclosures, connectors, and patch panels that organize and link network cables.
  • Specialty and harsh environment solutions: Rugged connectors and systems for military, mining, and outdoor use.
  • Network management systems: Cabinets and racks for organizing and protecting network equipment in data centers and homes.

Growth Spurts: How Optical Cable Has Expanded

  • Acquired Applied Optical Systems, now a wholly owned subsidiary that provides specialty and military market solutions.
  • Formed Centric Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary focused on data center solutions.
  • Expanded product lines with 16 new patents from 2019 to 2024.
  • Entered about 50 international markets by 2024, growing global reach.
  • Increased manufacturing capacity, operating at 40%-50% utilization in 2024 with room to scale.

What Makes Optical Cable Stand Out

Optical Cable serves both everyday businesses and demanding military clients, offering products for tough environments. Its global distribution network reaches 50 countries, supporting a diverse customer base. The company’s focus on patented designs and integrated solutions helps it compete in a crowded market.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Net sales were $20 million in QQ3 2025, up 22.8% year-over-year.
  • Gross profit reached $6 million in QQ3 2025, up 61.2% from QQ3 2024.
  • Operating income was $562,474 in QQ3 2025, reversing a loss last year.
  • Operating cash flow was negative $2 million in QQ3 2025, down from positive cash flow in QQ3 2024.

Bottom Line

Optical Cable has evolved by diversifying products and expanding globally. Its focus on specialty markets and innovation supports steady growth in a competitive industry.
