Sterlite Optical launches fiber cabling products for access networks

April 13, 2005 Maharashtra, India -- Sterlite Optical Technologies, a developer of fiber-optic cabling, recently introduced its OH-LiteT, Giga-LiteT, and SuperLANT products for access and premise network applications.

According to the company, its OH-LiteT is a low loss, non-dispersion shifted singlemode optical fiber optimized for use in the 1310/1550-nm wavelength bands. The product's features include low water peak, low chromatic dispersion, and minimal PMD. The fiber complies with ITU G.652.C/D standards, as well as the IEC 60793-2-50 optical fiber specification.

The company says its Giga-LiteT is a high-performance, multimode optical fiber designed for laser-based Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) applications at 1Gbit/sec speeds. According to the company, the fiber's 50/125-micron and 62.5/125-micron variants provide overfill bandwidth to meet the requirements of legacy protocols including Ethernet, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, ATM, and Fiber Channel. The fiber is suitable for premise wiring applications, including backbone, riser, and horizontal LANs providing video, data, and/or voice services using LED, VCSEL, and Fabry-Perot lasers sources at 850-nm or 1300-nm bands.

The company says its SuperLANT Cat. 5e and Cat. 6 cables are suitable for LAN transmission of high-speed data, as well as digital and analog voice and video signals. These cables support Gigabit Ethernet standards and are compatible with systems adhering to common standards including EN 50173, ISO/IEC 11801, and TIA/EIA 568-B.
