BRUSSELS—The European Commission launched an investigation on Thursday into imports of optical fiber cable from China, which EU manufacturers believe are being sold in Europe at artificially low prices.

The case comes as the 27-member European Union wants the digital economy to be a key part of its economic recovery and demands a greater opening of Chinese markets.
