PUNE, India: Sterlite Technologies Limited [BSE: 532374, NSE: STRTECH], a leading global provider of transmission solutions for the telecom and power industries, has announced the launch of three new products in its bend-insensitive BOW LITE family of fibers. These include the brand new BOW LITE SUPER (G.657 B3), and significantly improved BOW LITE PLUS (G.657 A1) and BOW LITE ENHANCED (G.657 A2.B2) fibers. All fibers have industry leading specifications for attenuation and macro-bend loss with tight geometry control making them particularly suitable for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) applications. Furthermore, Sterlite is one of the few manufacturers in the world with the scale to offer novel products for such applications.
Optical fiber cables in FTTH networks experience several tight bends, especially in distribution section of the network, drop cables found in multi dwelling units, and cables inside the homes. The use of bend insensitive G.657 fibers in FTTH installations is required as carriers have to contend with tight power budgets, and uncertain deployment conditions needing healthy safety margins. Additionally, since bandwidth demands of end consumers keeps increasing at an exponential rate, carriers have to future proof their network assets, even as they are deploying current generation technology. With its significantly low macro bend loss and attenuation, Sterlite family of bend-insensitive fibers are the perfect solution to the carriers' FTTH needs, suited to all FTTH architectures and deployment conditions.
Dr. Badri Gomatam, Chief Technology Officer, Sterlite Technologies Limited, stated, "We are very pleased with the launch of these products. Being committed to innovation in the core market segments we serve, these new fibers augment Sterlite's product portfolio in optical fibers, and positions Sterlite well in addressing the growing demand for telecommunications infrastructure in India and abroad."
The BOW LITE series complies or exceeds ITU Recommendations and IEC 60793-2-50 optical fiber specification.
