(Central News Agency reporter Zeng Renkai, Taipei, April 28) Connector component manufacturer JPC announced today at an online investor conference that it is optimistic about the "optical and copper co-development" trend. Its silicon photonics R&D team has been expanded threefold, and its 1.6T high-speed transmission Loop Back (fiber optic circulator) module has secured a new US client this year, bringing the total to two major US manufacturers in its supply chain.
JPC held its investor conference today, where Assistant Vice President Sun Jixian, responsible for optical communication technology, stated that JPC continues to invest in silicon photonics-related technology and product development. According to the company's development roadmap, it plans to launch 1.6T 2xDR4 related products this year, followed by 3.2T NPO (near-package optics) products in 2027, and 6.4T products in 2028.
Sun Jixian noted that JPC's 1.6T Loop Back module, after obtaining certification from a major US switch manufacturer in the fourth quarter of last year, received certification from another new US client this year, cumulatively entering the supply chains of two major US manufacturers. Additionally, samples of its 1.6T optical module have been sent to US clients for certification.
Furthermore, JPC stated that it is cooperating with a European telecommunications transmission company to develop telecom-grade miniaturized optical transceiver modules.
JPC affirmed its continuous investment in optical communication technologies such as Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) and TIC, and has obtained multiple patents. To this end, the silicon photonics R&D team has been expanded threefold, and investments in related hardware equipment have been simultaneously increased.
Benefiting from the AI server construction trend, JPC has secured major North American CSP (Cloud Service Provider) clients, successfully entering the AI server supply chain. This has driven strong operational growth in the past two years, with AI-related products accounting for over half of its revenue last year.
JPC's revenue in 2025 reached NT$7.579 billion, a 12% year-on-year increase, setting a new historical high. However, due to factors such as exchange rate fluctuations, net profit attributable to the parent company was NT$1.058 billion, a slight decrease of 0.2% compared to 2024, representing the second-highest in history. Earnings per share after tax were NT$8.67. JPC stated that it is optimistic about optical communication being the next important growth driver for its operations. (Editor: Lin Jiaxian) 1150428
