Amphenol Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CommScope’s Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) business for $10.5 billion in cash. The transaction expands Amphenol’s interconnect product capabilities in the fast-growing IT datacom market, particularly with the addition of fiber optic interconnect products for AI and other data center applications.  

CCS operates as three distinct businesses: the Data Center Connectivity Solutions business, which primarily sells fiber optic interconnect solutions to customers in the IT datacom market; the Broadband Communications business, which primarily sells fiber optic and other interconnect solutions to customers in the communications networks market; and the Building Connectivity Solutions business, which primarily sells a broad array of interconnect solutions integrated into existing and next-generation building technology in the industrial market.

Amphenol acquired CommScope’s Andrew satellite communication business earlier this year. The acquisition of the CCS business is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
