# The surge in computing power demand makes G.654.E optical fiber the "golden channel" for capacity

> In the trunk cable centralized procurement for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, China Telecom awarded the bid to YOFC, involving approximately 2.24 million core kilometers of G.654.E fiber. This tender marks the first time China Telecom has conducted a framework-based procurement, signifying an acceleration in trunk network construction. With the advancement of the "East Data West Computing" project, the demand for G.654.E fiber has surged, and larger-scale centralized procurement is expected in 2026. This fiber has become a key support for the computing power network, aiding in the construction of Digital China

According to the People's Post and Telecommunications News, on October 17, China Telecom announced the public procurement of the 2025-2026 first-level trunk optical cable and joint box concentrated procurement project, with Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company winning the bid with the largest share. This trunk optical cable involves approximately 2.24 million core kilometers of G.654.E optical fibers, marking the first time China Telecom has conducted trunk optical cable bidding in a framework format, and it is the third concentrated procurement of trunk optical cables by domestic operators this year. With the comprehensive advancement of the national "East Data West Computing" project, the three major operators represented by China Telecom are further increasing the construction of trunk networks, leading to a surge in demand for G.654.E. It is understood that the construction of China Telecom's backbone optical cable network has fully accelerated, and this first-level trunk concentrated procurement of G.654.E optical cables, with a scale of 2.24 million core kilometers, can only meet project needs for more than half a year. It is estimated that in mid-2026 or the second half of the year, China Telecom will conduct a new round of trunk concentrated procurement, which will be larger in scale. China Mobile and China Unicom have also entered the peak stage of G.654.E trunk network construction. In today's global wave of AI, G.654.E optical fibers have become a key cornerstone supporting computing power networks. From the macro strategy of "East Data West Computing" to the precise deployment of "millisecond computing" in metropolitan areas, new optical fibers with ultra-low loss, ultra-large capacity, and ultra-low latency are becoming the "golden channel" to connect the pulse of digital China
