Yangtze Optics Africa Cable (Pty) Ltd (YOA Cable) reports that it has solidified its position as the largest optical fiber manufacturer in Africa by a significant expansion investment of its manufacturing facility at the Dube Trade Port in KwaZulu-Natal, a coastal South African province.

A press release said that, working with other strategic partners, YOA Cable can now supply locally produced polyethylene product used in the manufacturing of optical fiber cable in South Africa, the first such local delivery in more than 20 years. The growth initiative will enable YOA Cable to tap into new opportunities beyond South Africa, including neighboring countries where it has previously seen success, and further enhance efforts to contribute towards the country’s skills development efforts in this highly specialized sector.
