Sterlite Technologies Launches Plenum-Rated Fiber Trunk Assemblies for AI Data Centers
Sterlite Technologies (STL) has obtained US certification for its OFNP IBR pre-terminated assembly portfolio for AI data center connectivity. This allows for faster installation and lower costs, meeting high-density and safety demands for AI workloads.
The launch of specialized products for the growing AI data center market is strategically important and could lead to increased revenue, but the immediate financial impact is not quantified.
The announcement details a new product launch with significant certifications, positioning the company as a leader in AI-ready infrastructure, which is a positive development.
Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) has announced an update to its data center portfolio with Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum (OFNP) US certification for its 48 to 576F Intermittently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) pre-terminated assembly portfolio. This certification, compliant with NFPA 262 standards, positions STL as a global AI-ready infrastructure provider for indoor cable assemblies.
The factory-built cable assemblies are designed to meet the demands of the AI-led Data Center market, featuring pre-installed, polished, and tested connectors. This eliminates the need for field splicing and equipment, enabling faster installation and reduced costs. The Plenum-certified cable assembly portfolio is specifically designed for indoor applications within hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center containment zones. These cables facilitate bandwidth scaling in restricted duct spaces while adhering to safety compliance.
Dr. Badri Gomatam, CTO of Optical Networking Business at STL, stated, "As AI workloads push the boundaries of data center design, the physical layer must evolve to meet unprecedented density and safety demands. Achieving this plenum certification for our indoor IBR cable family is a testament to STL's engineering excellence and our commitment to being the partner of choice for the world's largest hyperscalers. We are proud to deliver solutions that not only power the AI revolution but do so with the highest standards of safety and reliability."
