Germany, a nation known for its precision engineering and high-tech advancements, is in the midst of an ambitious transformation. Picture this: By 2030, every German household will have access to ultra-fast fibre-optic internet, a leap that will revolutionise how communities connect, work, and play. However, with 47.3 million households across the country and only 17.9 million currently enjoying Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) connectivity, the race is on to expand this network to the remaining homes.

To bridge this gap, service providers are on the lookout for top-notch optical solutions that meet the specific needs of German networks while being easy to install and ready for future upgrades.

With over two decades of experience working with European customers, STL is stepping up its game in Germany. With a strong foothold in Munich, STL is actively expanding its state-of-the-art optical product portfolio in the German market. Products like the Celesta 6912F IBR cable, the 864F Micro cable, Yogalite cable, and the Next-Gen Micro cable with A2 180-micron fibre have already gained significant traction among top service providers across the region, seamlessly integrating into the communication infrastructure.

Nano-Lite Cables – An upgrade to STL’s OFC Portfolio

STL has recently upgraded its Nano-Lite Cables, with better Fibre Protrusion of Grade 1. The cable is designed to speed up fibre-optic deployments and meet the specific needs of German networks.

The new Nano-Lite cables are specifically designed to reduce fibre protrusion while maintaining excellent blowing performance. These unitube cables are intended for air-blowing in the last mile microducts, even over the most challenging paths. Built with the latest STL NOVA 250 or STL NOVA 200 bend-insensitive optical fibres, these cables are fully backward compatible with ITU-T G.652.D fibres and comply with ITU-T G.657.A1 standards. Here are some of their key benefits:

• Faster Installation: Air-blowing in microducts ensures swift underground installation, keeping the cables out of sight and easy to scale.
• Low Network Maintenance: Controlled fibre protrusion minimizes the need for re-working at cable termination points later.
• De-skilled Labour: High tensile strength (more than twice the value specified by IEC 60794-5-10) allows for manual pulling over short distances.

STL’s commitment to Germany’s digital future is clear. With innovative solutions like Nano-Lite, we are not just selling cables— we are building the backbone of tomorrow’s communication infrastructure.
