TFC Optical Communication said supporting products for co-packaged optics (CPO) had entered mass-production delivery. It reported that product yields were sufficient for scaled manufacturing and that it was preparing capacity around customer demand forecasts.

Products currently being delivered include fiber-array units (FAUs) for CPO applications and external laser source (ELS) products. The company cited its optical-coupling, precision-manufacturing, and volume-delivery capabilities as the basis for product performance, yield, and delivery support.

Its research and development team is working with customers on next-generation optical connections with higher density and more channels. The source does not quantify production volume, customer commitments, channel counts, or revenue from these CPO-related products.

TFC also said shortages of certain materials had constrained increases in active optical-device production during the first half. It added new suppliers, and reported that the shortages had gradually eased from the third quarter of 2026, with overall supply conditions improving.
