Fujikura News November issue (No. 514) has been published.
Fujikura Group has published the November 2026 issue (No. 514) of its bimonthly newsletter, "Fujikura News." This issue introduces the group's products, technology development initiatives, cutting-edge research results, and various activities of Group companies. Based on the advanced technological capabilities cultivated as "Fujikura, a Technology Leader," Fujikura Group is working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through "Tsunagu" Technology™.
The November 2026 issue (No. 514) features the following topics:
• Establishment of a mass production system for Fujikura's proprietary small-diameter, high-density fiber optic cable "WTC®" in the Tangier region of the Kingdom of Morocco to meet growing demand for optical fiber cables driven by the proliferation of generative AI and other factors. The facility began full-scale operations in August 2026 as a supply base for markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
• Development of the "FPB18E" series of highly robust, compact, high-current board-to-board connectors for battery connections in increasingly compact and multifunctional smart devices. By adopting a structure in which metal components serve as guides during mating, the series achieves a 30% improvement in strength compared with conventional designs.
• Commencement of deliveries of 4G LTE-compatible leaky coaxial cables (LCX), dedicated connectors, and termination resistors developed by Group company Fujikura Dia Cable Ltd. to improve communication environments in radio dead zones such as railway tunnels.
• Receipt of the FY2026 81st-term Quality Award from TS Tech Co., Ltd. for quality control initiatives related to the delivery of seating sensors. These initiatives, including consistent management of all processes and the digitalization of inspections, have supported the continuation of "zero delivery defects."
We invite you to read the latest issue.
