About the Fiber Optics Industry: Fiber optics is the future of communications and fiber optic connectors are
one of the major profit centres within this market. The signal transmission business is in the early stages of a
fiber optics bull market. All signal transmission, in their many and various forms, are being converted from
electrical, using copper wire and coaxial cable, to fiber optics. In the USA the Obama administration has recently
pledged an initial US$7.2-billion to a plan that calls for 100 million Americans to have access to super high speed
internet. This high speed internet will require significant fiber optic infrastructure. The annual global market for
fiber optic connectors is projected to grow to US$3.45 billion in 2011 (ElectroniCast Consultants:
