Chinese optical-module makers have responded to a report that the US Federal Communications Commission is drafting restrictions on imports of new Chinese data-center components, including optical transceivers. Zhongji Innolight said no relevant FCC document had been issued, while Eoptolink said it was monitoring the situation and could not verify the report’s authenticity.

TFC said it was assessing the potential impact. The companies’ comments leave the reported restrictions unconfirmed, and do not establish that a new import rule has taken effect. [Yicai, in Chinese]
