Question · Q4 2025
Anthony Christ inquired about the potential for Lyttera to refer single-mode fiber (SMF) and hollow-core fiber cabling, particularly Tier 1 products, and requested an explanation of these technologies. He also asked if these fibers are competitive with Corning and if Lyttera provides automation/AI for their production.
Answer
Neil Wilkin, Chairman, President, and CEO of Optical Cable Corporation, explained that hollow-core fiber aims to reduce latency and increase speed. He clarified that OCC's products are best suited for multi-tenant data centers (MTDCs) and enterprise data centers (Tier 2 and Tier 3), not directly for Tier 1 or hyperscale data centers. Wilkin noted that SMF is a typical data center product. Regarding Lyttera's specific plans or competitive positioning against Corning, Wilkin stated OCC cannot comment on Lyttera's proprietary strategies or intellectual property, but acknowledged Lyttera's reputation for leading fiber technology.
