Sterlite Technologies Inc. (STI), a US subsidiary of STL [NSE: STLTECH], today announced it has 

developed the world's thinnest fiber optic cable, becoming one of the few companies in the 

US to offer this product to data center operators, hyperscale enterprises, and telecommunications

 providers. STL's Celesta intermittently bonded ribbon (IBR) cable offers industry-leading fiber

density, housing 864 fibers in a cable diameter of just 11.7 mm. It is optimized for jet installation

 using 14 mm inner diameter microducts. This latest generation of IBR cable boasts record-breaking

 installation performance—jetting approximately 1,500 meters (4,700 feet) in 20 minutes—and 

utilizes STL's state-of-the-art, bend-resistant HD G.657.A2 200-micron fiber and industry-standard 

jacketing, providing top-tier installation performance for US customers.

Hyperscale enterprises require ultra-high-capacity, low-latency, and highly scalable network

 infrastructure to support the massive data flows between distributed data centers and cloud 

environments. Their networks require optical cables that maximize fiber count within limited

 available duct space, minimize installation time, and provide exceptional reliability under a wide

 range of environmental and operating conditions.

STL's IBR cable portfolio continues to expand, from 12-fiber to an industry-leading 6,912-fiber.

 Over the past five years, STL has delivered over 10 million fiber kilometers to customers in Europe

 and the United States. STL was the first company in India to introduce IBR technology. 

With ten manufacturing sites across North America, Europe, and Asia, STL is able to rapidly 

and scalably meet its customers' diverse global connectivity needs.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd. (STL) is a leading global optical and digital solutions company, 

providing advanced products for 5G, rural networks, FTTx, enterprise networks, and 

data center network deployments.
