Optical fiber connectors and interconnect components for data centers and industrial networks
US Conec manufactures precision optical interconnect hardware—MT ferrules, MPO connectors, lensed ferrule assemblies, and fiber-optic cleaning solutions—for data center, telecom, and industrial customers. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (70 roles) with a secondary focus on engineering, signaling ramped-up production capacity and new product qualification cycles. Active projects span injection molding automation, ferrule posting automation, and ERP enhancements, pointing to internal operational scaling rather than software-driven product innovation.
