SpaceX is currently weighing the option of producing optical communication equipment, including fiber optic cables, internally. These products would be utilized within its Starlink network and for possible data center endeavors. This information first surfaced in an interview conducted by WK Substack with a supply chain specialist, and was subsequently covered by Wccftech. Given that the identity of the person interviewed has not been made public and SpaceX itself has not validated this strategy, it should be regarded as an unconfirmed supply chain whisper at this juncture.
