STL (NSE: STLTECH), a global leader in optical and digital solutions, introduced its cutting-edge 288-fibre Microcable, featuring 180-micron fibre, at Connected Britain 2024. As one of the pioneers in developing 180-micron fibre, STL has incorporated this advanced technology into its microcable design, driving innovation in the field. The company also presented its enhanced 200-micron Microcable range (96-864 fibres), offering a 20% reduction in area, which boosts duct utilization and improves blow performance, all while cutting material use and lowering the carbon footprint.
The 180-micron Microcable integrates two key innovations: a miniaturized fibre design and a high-density, low-diameter cable. With 288 fibres packed into a 6.6 mm outer diameter, this product ensures exceptional installation and handling efficiency. Compliant with ITU-T G.657.A2 and IEC 60794-5-10 standards, the lightweight and flexible cable can be deployed in 8mm microducts using air-blowing methods, significantly reducing both installation time and costs. Its bend-insensitive fibre ensures durability even in tight bends.
Commenting on the product, Rahul Puri, Sales Head—EMEA & APAC at STL, stated, “We aim to deliver region-specific solutions that are both innovative and customer-centric. Our advanced 180-micron and 200-micron HD Microcable offerings demonstrate our commitment to design excellence and staying ahead of industry needs.”
STL’s 200-micron HD Microcable family, with a range of 96 to 864 fibers, provides several key advantages. It offers 20% more duct utilization, enabling better space efficiency. The cables support faster installation, thanks to higher blowing speeds, and are compatible with existing networks, ensuring seamless integration.
Additionally, the design reduces material usage, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint, making it an environmentally friendly choice for network expansions. STL continues to lead the way in providing advanced solutions for building 5G, FTTx, Rural, Enterprise, and Data Centre networks worldwide.
