Plastic Optical Fibers
Plastic Optical Fibers
Our multimode plastic optical fibers (POF) utilize step index design with large core diameters up to 3,000 µm.
- Ease of termination
- Large core diameter for easy coupling
- Ruggedness against mechanical shock See All Features

Features
Large Core Diameter
Larger core diameters make Plastic Optical Fibers allow for mechanically robust coupling of light sources into the fiber. Glass fibers with large core diameters would be too stiff for most applications.
Applications
- Short-range communication - home & office
- Car airborne communications networks
- Harsh industrial manufacturing environments
