Shenzhen Afalight Co., Ltd. is a specialized developer and manufacturer of optical communication modules and active optical cables. Founded in August 2016, the company is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, a city known for its transformation into a major hub for manufacturing and innovation.

Read full description

The company's business model centers on providing cost-effective optical communication solutions for a diverse client base. This includes customers in large data centers, high-definition video, long-distance transmission, and wireless networks. Afalight serves various application sectors such as virtual reality, home theaters, machine vision systems, medical imaging systems, and HD video conference systems. Revenue is generated through the sale of its products, which include both standardized and customizable options, as well as offering OEM/ODM services.

Afalight's product portfolio is extensive, featuring single fiber optical extenders, single fiber optical engines, and a range of Active Optical Cables (AOC) for HDMI, USB, DisplayPort, and DVI. These products are utilized in consumer electronics like ultra-high-definition TVs, mobile phones, and projectors, as well as in industrial and medical applications such as industrial cameras and medical equipment signal transmission. The company leverages advanced manufacturing processes, including Chip On Board (COB) technology, sub-micron precision Die Bond technology, and high-speed Wire Bond technology. A significant milestone was achieved in May 2021, when its HDMI 2.1 active optical cable became the first domestic chip solution photoelectric module to receive the UHS Program certification. The company holds over 60 patents and more than 10 software copyrights. In February 2022, Afalight secured Series B financing which was intended for equipment acquisition, research and development, and hiring.
