Hollow-core fiber, a revolutionary technology that uses air as its transmission medium instead of traditional glass or plastic cores, is reshaping expectations for high-speed, low-latency data transmission. Unlike conventional Optic Fiber cables, which suffer from signal loss and delays due to material absorption and dispersion, hollow-core fiber minimizes these issues—offering lower latency (critical for real-time AI and cloud computing) and lower signal loss (extending transmission distances without repeaters). This makes it a game-changing solution for AI data center interconnections, where massive volumes of data must be transferred instantly across facilities. Industry forecasts project exceptional compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for hollow-core fiber, as global demand for AI-driven infrastructure surges and data centers seek to overcome the limitations of existing networks.

The technology’s potential extends beyond data centers, too. When integrated with established fiber systems—such as ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cables for overhead power line communications, OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) for utility networks, or FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) solutions for residential broadband—hollow-core fiber can enhance overall network performance. Even supporting components like patch cords (used for short-distance connections between devices) and pigtails (for fiber termination) will play a role in adapting existing infrastructure to work with hollow-core fiber, creating a seamless ecosystem for adoption.

A major milestone in hollow-core fiber’s commercial journey came in July 2025, when China Mobile completed the deployment of the first commercial hollow-core fiber line. This achievement marked the technology’s shift from pilot projects to real-world application, igniting momentum across the industry. Key players have already stepped up: Changfei Fiber, a leading global optical fiber manufacturer, secured critical bids for early hollow-core fiber projects, highlighting the industry’s confidence in the technology. However, challenges remain: hollow-core fiber has not yet achieved large-scale sales, and uncertainties persist around its long-term market penetration and profit margins. For companies like Changfei Fiber, the impact on financial reports will depend on how quickly production scales, costs decline, and demand stabilizes—factors that will shape the industry’s trajectory in the coming years.
