A Richmond-based high-tech manufacturing plant that is helping upgrade China’s fibre optics market announced earlier this month it has established its North American headquarters in Downtown Vancouver.
F-Pacific Optical Communications Company Ltd. announced it is the first on the continent to operate a production line for zirconia ferrule blanks, a core component for the precise physical contact of fibre-optic connectors.
Fibre optic technology allows for faster Internet speeds than any other infrastructure.
Company officials said the Lower Mainland’s climate is ideal for the production process as the quality of the ceramic ferrule blanks is affected by temperature, humidity and air clarity.
