Fujikura Ltd. (Director, President and CEO: Naoki Okada) has established a mass production system for Fiber Optic Cable at group companies, Fujikura Automotive Morocco Tangier (FAMT), located in the Tangier region of the Kingdom of Morocco, and commenced full-scale operations in August 2026.
FAMT has previously business as a production base for automotive products, but it is now utilizing its existing site to newly produce "WTC® (Wrapping Tube Cable®)"*2, ultra-thin, high-density fiber optic cable that incorporates Fujikura's proprietary Optical Fiber ribbon "SWR® (Spider Web Ribbon®)" *1.
In recent years, driven by the proliferation of generative AI and the expansion of cloud services, demand for Fiber Optic Cable for data center and communication networks has surged, making it crucial to establish a production system that can stably and quickly supply high-quality Fiber Optic Cable.
Therefore, Fujikura positioned FAMT as a strategy base responsible for ensuring a stable supply to the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, and shortened the supply lead time to each region.
Fujikura will contribute to job creation and the development of local industries in the Kingdom of Morocco, and will continue to strengthen its global production and supply system, contributing to the development of an advanced digital society through its "Tsunagu" technologies ™.
FAMT's WTC® manufacturing plant
* Spider Web Ribbon® (SWR®), Wrapping Tube Cable® (WTC®), and "Connecting" Technology ™ are registered trademarks of Fujikura.
*1 SWR™ (Spider Web Ribbon™)
An optical fiber ribbon developed using Fujikura's proprietary technology. It features a structure in which single optical fibers are bonded intermittently, providing excellent flexibility. It allows for high-density implementation within fiber optic cables, contributing to thinner and higher-density fiber optic cables.
*2 WTC™ (Wrapping Tube Cable™)
Thin-diameter, high-density fiber optic cable developed by Fujikura using proprietary technology that implements SWR™. It is a simply structured fiber optic cable in which the optical fiber ribbons are covered with a tape wrapping. Compared to conventional fiber optic cables such as the slot structure mainly used domestically or the loose tube structure common overseas, it has a thinner and higher-density design, enabling the use of existing ducts and significantly shortening construction periods.
