Sterlite Tech Shares Rise On US Certification For Fibre Assemblies Used In AI Data Centres

Sterlite Technologies Limited has secured Optical Fibre Nonconductive Plenum (OFNP) certification in the US for its Intermittently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) pre-terminated assembly portfolio. It is designed for indoor connectivity in artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.

The certification covers a range of fibre assemblies and adds to the company's offering for hyperscale, colocation and enterprise data centre applications.

On 11 September 2026 at 1:50 pm, the Sterlite Tech share price stood at ₹870.50, up 1.84% from the previous close of ₹854.75 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The stock opened at ₹870 and touched a high of ₹882 and a low of ₹830 during the session.

Sterlite Tech Targets Specialised Data Centre Deployments

With the US certification, Sterlite Technologies said its portfolio is now positioned among AI-ready infrastructure offerings featuring indoor cable assemblies qualified under NFPA 262.

The company said the cables are designed for environments where routing space is limited. They allow data centre operators to increase bandwidth capacity within constrained duct spaces while maintaining safety compliance.

Badri Gomatam, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Optical Networking Business at Sterlite Technologies, said the certification for the company's IBR cable family reflects its focus on developing fibre connectivity solutions for hyperscale data centre requirements, with emphasis on safety and reliability.
