OCC is a leading manufacturer of the highest quality tight-buffer fiber optic cables and data communication connectivity solutions designed for enterprise markets and customized solutions for specialty uses and harsh environment. Founded in 1983, OCC was at the forefront of the development of tight-buffered, tight-bound cable technology that met the U.S. military requirements for tactical field use. A number of industry standards are based on designs OCC pioneered that meet and often surpass the most rigorous industry standards.

As OCC grew, the company applied these technologies and manufacturing of the tight-buffered cable process to designing fiber optic cable for a variety of industrial and enterprise markets. Since 1996, OCC has been publicly traded (NASDAQ GM: OCC) and currently employs a worldwide network of distributors for its range of products in
more than 70 countries.

In recent years, OCC has acquired two companies to transition the company from a cable provider to an integrated company offering a complete suite of connectivity solutions. Located just outside of Asheville, the North Carolina facility offers patented technologies and a full range of fiber optic and copper data-communication connectivity products. On November 1st 2009, OCC acquired Applied Optical Systems, a facility that manufactures specialty fiber optic connectors and connectivity solutions for military and harsh environment applications.

Today, through these acquisitions, OCC’s product offerings include fiber-optic and copper cabling as well as connectivity components designed for commercial, specialty and harsh-environment applications.
