They will also require more compact, high-density optical fibre cables (with&nbsp;~70%&nbsp;more&nbsp;fibre)&nbsp;than traditional data centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a homegrown, globally recognised Optical expert, STL has developed a sophisticated, integrated portfolio to cater to the unique cabling needs of GPU-dense data centres. Optical fibre cabling in AI data centres must deliver high bandwidth, low latency, and high density to meet the volume and complexity of AI workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The linkage between AI, Data Centres and Optical Fibre forms the holy trinity of future connectivity. We have been deeply involved in building a suite of products that fit right into the most dense connectivity environments ever created,&#8221; said&nbsp;Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director and CEO Optical Business,&nbsp;STL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to showcase our Make in&nbsp;India&nbsp;AI-DC portfolio to our customers and believe that this will serve as a one-stop solution for their data centre cabling needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STL&#8217;s Intelligently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) cable technology is the engine behind fibre densification in AI data centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STL was the second in the world and the first in&nbsp;India&nbsp;to offer mainstream high-density IBR optical products. The company&#8217;s flagship AI-DC portfolio, designed for accelerated computing, is strongly anchored in its IBR optical cables and bolstered with a suite of data centre-specific connectivity products like connectors, patch-cords, fibre distribution and management systems, racks, cabinets, and servers. These products include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-density Optical Fibre cables<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Celesta Ribbon cable with its Intelligently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) technology in 250-micron and 200-micron fibre. These cables utilise high-performance G.657.A2 bend-insensitive\/Stellar optical fibre and feature a Low Smoke and Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant (FR) jacket. The Celesta with 6912F enables high fibre packing density in ducts, resulting in a lower TCO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-density Connectivity solutions &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>for establishing end-to-end connectivity. These include floor-mount racks, high-density MPO panels that can accommodate up to 864 fibres in 2RU and 1728 fibres in 5RU, New Pivoting Tray Drawer (nPTD), high-density LC panels, patch panels and copper connectivity solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company demonstratesits integrated optical cable, connectivity and interconnect offerings.
