Times Fiber Communications, Inc.

Times Fiber Communications, Inc. (TFC) — headquartered at 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, Connecticut — is a manufacturer of coaxial cable and broadband interconnect products. Founded in 1948, it was acquired by Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH) in December 1992 and operates as an Amphenol subsidiary, not a standalone public company. PatSnap lists roughly 251 employees (250–500 band); no independently verified revenue figure is available, and TFC's financials are consolidated into Amphenol's. President/CEO is Zachary Raley, a former Amphenol group general manager.

TFC designs and manufactures high-performance coaxial cable and connectivity hardware for cable television, broadband, satellite and data networks. Its product lines include T10 trunk, distribution and drop coax; TX low-loss trunk/distribution cable; flexible feeder and direct-burial/aerial messengered cable; coaxial jumper assemblies; fiber-optic cable assemblies, attenuators and couplers/splitters; premise interconnect components such as splitters, directional couplers and enclosures; and coaxial cabling for centralized powering. The company has manufacturing operations in North America, Europe, Asia and South America and exports broadly. It is now positioned within Amphenol Broadband Solutions, Amphenol's consolidated broadband storefront.

On litigation posture, the case data shows TFC as a defendant in one tracked case and a plaintiff in none — the profile of an operating company being sued rather than a patent assertion entity. The single tracked matter is PPC Broadband, Inc. v. Amphenol Corporation et al., filed May 6, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Wilmington Division), naming TFC as a co-defendant. PPC Broadband is a Belden brand and a direct broadband-connectivity competitor; the two companies had announced a global connectivity partnership in 2016, making the later suit notable. Separately, PTAB records show TFC as patent owner defending its cable-transport ("Tech Service Bag") patent against a PPC Broadband IPR petition, indicating a two-way dispute over broadband cable/connector technology. Venue is Delaware, not the Eastern District of Texas. All tracked activity is within the last several years; no other appearances are recorded in the database.
