Sterlite Technologies Ltd, a global provider of transmission solutions for telecom and power industries, has announced the launch of three new products in its bend-insensitive Bow Lite family of fibres.
All fibres have industry leading specifications for attenuation and macro-bend loss with tight geometry control making them particularly suitable for Fibre to the Home (FTTH) applications.
Optical fibre 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 fibres in FTTH installations is required as carriers have to contend with tight power budgets, and uncertain deployment conditions needing healthy safety margins.
Dr Badri Gomatam, Chief Technology Officer, Sterlite Technologies Ltd, said, “These new fibres augment Sterlite's product portfolio in optical fibres, and positions Sterlite well in addressing the growing demand for telecommunications infrastructure in India and abroad.”
