Plastic optical fiber (POF) has been on the market for many years, and its core and cladding are composed of polymers. The key advantages of plastic optical fiber are its high flexibility (due to its small bending radius, which can resist alternating bending), and its better economics than glass optical fiber in terms of connection and transmission technology. Moreover, this fiber has all the main advantages of fiber optic cable connections:
No electromagnetic interference
Clear galvanic separation
No crosstalk
Light weight
Today, POF can be used for transmissions up to 70 meters in distance, which is generally enough to meet the needs of industrial, small office systems and home networks. If you choose the right active components, you can even cover a distance of up to 150 meters.
POF cables can be used indoors and outdoors. Can be adapted to a wider range of buildings on request.
