    About Company

    Corporate Overview
    From the development of our first cables through our current product offering, which ranks among the industry's most comprehensive, Optical Cable Corporation (OCC®) is a company that provides uncompromising product quality and performance, with solutions for a multitude of market applications.

    OCC has earned a reputation as an industry leader, an innovator and a designer of some of the highest-performing cabling and connectivity products available. For years, OCC has been internationally recognized for pioneering the design and production of fiber optic cables. Today, OCC is internationally recognized as a leader in engineering and manufacturing a complete line of top-tier cabling and connectivity solutions, including products and solutions suitable for the most demanding applications.

    Optical Cable Corporation:
    We started by revolutionizing the design of a cable. We evolved to change the way the world communicates.
    Founded in 1983, OCC was among the first companies to realize the potential of fiber optics through designing and manufacturing some of the most reliable, rugged and innovative cable products in the world. The U.S. Military needed an extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, and survivable fiber optic cable, able to efficiently transmit previously unprecedented volumes of data in the field. OCC and its engineers were at the forefront of the development of the tight-buffered, tight-bound cable technology that met these criteria. The result: cables that were easy to deploy and performed under the harshest of conditions.

    OCC's success in the battlefield provided a foundation for the creation of a broad fiber optic cable offering built on the evolution of our technologies, as well as opportunities to expand our product offerings beyond fiber optic cabling.

    OCC has evolved into a world-class provider of a complete line of fiber optic and copper cabling and connectivity products to a broad customer base. While out heritage started with military, our expertise now extends in to the enterprise, broadcast, industrial, harsh environment, and various specialty markets, and reaches worldwide through our network of distributors with customers in more than 70 countries.

    The acquisition of two industry leaders enables OCC to easily transition from a leading provider of fiber optic cables to a company offering a complete integrated suite of cabling and connectivity solutions.

    Located just outside of Asheville, our North Carolina facility manufactures products using innovative and patented technologies, offering our customers a full range of fiber optic and copper data communication connectivity products. OCC engineers at this facility actively develop products not only to enhance connectivity and networking, but also to establish test and measurement standards for the entire communications industry.

    Our Dallas, Texas facility provides OCC with innovative expertise and the capability to manufacture specialty fiber optic connectors and connectivity solutions of military and harsh environment applications. OCC's groundbreaking innovations in hardened connectors have become the standard for field tactical military communications, stadium broadcasts, and critical mining applications.

    By expanding our capabilities and product offerings, we have strategically positioned OCC to support our customers' need for increasingly sophisticated communications infrastructure and end-to-end cabling and connectivity solutions. Before being acquired by OCC, each new facility was a world-class technology leader in its own right. Now, together as Optical Cable Corporation, we have become a total cabling and connectivity solutions provider for our customers.

    TODAY- Helping the world communicate faster.
    Today OCC products are at work from mission critical data center applications to broadcast cables transmitting on location; consistently meeting the demanding survivability standards for the toughest environmental and mechanical stresses. From extreme temperatures to dust, chemicals, and vibration- even in mining applications where installations stretch for miles- OCC products are relied upon time and time again for successful environmental and safety monitoring; equipment control; security; and voice, data and video communications. We are proud that our products provide the conduit that helps businesses, government, and the military communicate with speed and clarity.

    OCC's reliable, high-quality, warranted products must meet the company's own tough standards- which are often more stringent that industry standards. We utilize customized and proprietary control and automation systems in our manufacturing processes to meet our precise tolerance and performance levels.
