Cloud computing has significantly transformed traffic patterns in data centers, shifting from traditional north-south traffic to an increasing focus on east-west traffic. This evolution facilitates better load balancing and resource sharing, both within a single data center and across multiple data centers within a campus or metropolitan area.
STL offers comprehensive end-to-end Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions designed to meet the growing demands of modern data center architectures. These solutions include high-count ribbon fiber cables, available in configurations ranging from 96 to 6912 fibers, and adhering to international standards such as IEC 60794-5-10, ITU-T, RoHS, and REACH. Additionally, STL provides high-density splice closures that support up to 1728 fibers, suitable for use in aerial, pole, wall, and underground networks, as well as inside handholes and manholes for trunk, branch, and pot-head applications.
For environments requiring high-density transitions, STL offers Splice Bay, a 19” frame-mountable solution capable of supporting up to 2016 splices per bay. This solution is ideal for splicing outdoor cables to indoor cables. STL’s Optical Cross-connect frames provide further scalability, allowing for the organization of up to 4320 fibers in 45U height frames, making them perfect for meet-me-rooms and entrance facilities where outdoor cables transition to indoor infrastructure.
These products are engineered, manufactured, and rigorously tested in a state-of-the-art facility, ensuring they meet or exceed global standards for performance and safety. Recognizing that Data Center Interconnect solutions often require precise customization, STL complements its products with expert design and engineering services. These services include creating customized solutions tailored to specific customer needs, supported by detailed CAD and BIM drawings that aid in the preparation of Good-for-Construction documents.
