A bipartisan group in the US Senate has introduced a bill (S.5548) aiming to ban Chinese-made optical transceivers, including from Zhongji Innolight and Eoptolink, from federal communications and data networks to reduce China-related security risks, providing a five-year transition period for sourcing from non-Chinese suppliers.
