Optical Cable Corporation (OCC) manufactures fiber optic and copper data communication cabling and connectivity products used to transmit data, video, and voice communications. OCC serves two broad markets: enterprise customers (commercial offices, hospitals, government facilities, educational institutions, and data centers) and specialty/harsh environment customers (military, mining, petrochemical, oil & gas, and broadcast applications). Enterprise products include fiber optic cables, copper cables, hybrid cables, connectors, patch cords, and related accessories. Specialty products are ruggedized connectors, cable assemblies, and deployable systems built to survive extreme conditions — OCC holds qualified supplier status with the U.S. Department of Defense for ground tactical fiber optic cable. OCC sells through distributors, value-added resellers, and OEMs, with end customers including contractors and system integrators. OCC operates three U.S. manufacturing facilities, in Roanoke, VA, near Asheville, NC, and near Dallas, TX. The business model is straightforward product sales, with revenue driven by volume and product mix. A key economic feature is operating leverage: manufacturing and SG&A costs are largely fixed, so revenue growth drives disproportionate margin expansion. OCC's growth focus is on Tier 2 and Tier 3 data centers, and the company recently entered a collaboration with Lightera (part of Furukawa Electric) to expand its product portfolio for data center and enterprise markets.
