Redefining connectivity with Nano-Lite Cables

STL has recently introduced Nano-Lite Cable, a revolutionary fibre optic cable designed to reduce fibre protrusion effects to a minimum while still providing optimum blowing performances. These unique cables are intended for Air-Blowing in the last-mile Microducts over the most challenging paths. They have been engineered to reduce fibre protrusion to a minimum under the most restrictive environmental conditions. They are designed based on the latest STL NOVA 250 or STL NOVA 200 Optical Fibres Bend-Insensitive to ITU-T G.657.A1 and Fully Back Compatible to Legacy ITU-T G.652.D Fibres.
