OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
Optical communication components—such as optical modules, fiber connectors, and transceivers—must maintain transmission quality and stability under diverse environmental stresses. These components are widely used in telecom base stations, data centers, aerospace, and 5G infrastructure, where they must endure heat, humidity, vibration, and contamination risks.
