STL unveils new 864F Micro Cables
SCTE Corporate Member Sterlite Technologies, leading optical and digital solutions company has launched new high-density, 864F Micro Cables.
2. Longer network life: Compatible bend-insensitive 200-micron fibre provides more power budget for longer network life, fewer truck rolls, faster installation 3. Sustainable and cost saving: 40% lesser plastic usage compared to standard micro cable, saves up to 70% in the civil cost 4. Easy to install: reduced form factor enables tighter cable coiling in installation and slim outer jacket layers provide easy access to fibre bundles. In addition to the 864F Micro cable, STL has also introduced its Intelligently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) Armored cable.
They tell us they have been conceptualised and developed
excellent mass fusion splicing outcomes. This UV-protected, lightweight, and flexible cable is a pioneering solution for diverse installation environments. STL’s manufacturing facility in South Carolina is already catering to the demand of both federal and privately funded broadband projects, including the BEAD Program. In early August at the Fibre Connect event, STL also introduced its Optical Connectivity portfolio. Now, with these high-capacity Optical Fibre cables, STL has an integrated Optical Networking portfolio explicitly designed for the region, an obvious advantage. Speaking about this development, Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director, STL, said: “We believe in developing optical products relevant to the regional market context. These high-density Optical fibre cables provide unmatched scalability, speed and cost-efficiency for services providers deploying high-density networks. These products ensure the future readiness of networks and reinforce our commitment to connecting America, promising unparalleled value for our customers.”
specifically to bring fast and uninterrupted connectivity to dense fibre networks in the US. They say they have best-in-class high fibre density – 864F Micro cable can pack 864 fibres in a cable diameter of 11.4 mm (1.5X more fibres than a standard micro cable of the same diameter). It employs STL’s bend-insensitive HD A2 200-micron fibre. The 864F cable brings the following benefits to service providers in the region: 1. Ultra-high fibre density: 1.5X more fibre density, easy to blow up to 1500 m in 14mm duct, highest fibre density of 10.2mm 2
The compact design ensures ease of installation, while precise ribbon geometries in IBR bundles deliver
