Hakusan will exhibit at OFC 2026, leveraging its 35 years of experience in MT Ferrule development.

Hakusan Inc. (headquarters: Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture) will be exhibiting at OFC (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition) 2026, one of the world's largest optical communication conferences and exhibitions, to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from March 17th to 19th, 2026. This will be the company's second consecutive year of participation, and in response to the rapidly growing demand for optical interconnects brought about by generative AI and HPC, the company will be showcasing new optical connection solutions for next-generation data centers and co-packaged optics, centered on the high-precision MT Ferrule technology it has honed over more than 35 years.

Exhibition overview

• Exhibition name: OFC (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition) 2026
• Date: March 17th to 19th, 2026
• Venue: Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California, United States
• Booth number: #309
• HP: https://www.ofcconference.org/

Background and purpose of the exhibition

With the rapid development of generative AI, cloud services, and HPC, communication traffic within and between data centers is growing exponentially. As a result, optical interconnects are highly required to be highly accelerated and dense, as well as high reliability considering mounting constraints and operating environments.

Against this backdrop of this market environment, Hakusan exhibited for the first time at OFC, one of the most prestigious exhibitions in the optical communication industry, in 2025. At OFC 2025, we exhibited products developed for co-packaged optics and products with reflow resistance, focusing on MT Ferrule as a next-generation multifiber optical connector technology, and had direct dialogues with people in the optical communications industry around the world. As a result, we received high interest and appreciation for our developments, including ceramic MT Ferrule and reflow-resistant MT Ferrule, as well as the opportunity to receive specific feedback on various technical requests and future initiatives.

Our participation in OFC 2026 is an ongoing effort to propose more practical and specific solutions based on the knowledge and market evaluation gained at OFC 2025. Leveraging our strengths in MT Ferrule development and manufacturing, which we have cultivated over 35 years, we aim to present optical connection solutions to the global market that will contribute to resolving the challenges of next-generation data centers.

In the company introduction video below, we introduce the exhibition at OFC 2025 for the first time and Hakusan 's manufacturing initiatives. You can see the technical background and development attitude through the video.
