Optical fiber/cable and optical fiber connectors both considerably surpassing

previous highs was a positive surprise.

Japan’s MoF has released June trade stats (revised data). Key data points for the

optical fiber & connector industry were as follows.

Export value of optical fiber/optical fiber cable connectors (HS code 85367000):

Total export value of ¥6.1bn (+75% YoY; 3-mo avg. +83% YoY; +14% MoM); figure

greatly surpassed previous record.

Total breaks down to Tokyo Customs ¥5.8bn and Nagoya Customs ¥0.2bn. We infer

that shipments cleared through Tokyo Customs are from Fujikura and Sumitomo

Electric, while those cleared through Nagoya Customs are from Furukawa Electric.

We attribute buoyant demand to cross-connectivity of AI servers, which requires

several times more connectors than usual. Exports to Asia remained brisk.
