Timbercon Plastic Optical Fiber

Timbercon Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) products are large-diameter assemblies with acrylic cores and cladding constructed of fluorinated polymers. Similar to traditional glass fiber, POF transmits light/data through the core of the fiber. However, POF assemblies can have a core size, in some cases, 100X that of glass fiber. The increased core diameter allows 96 percent of the core to transmit signals from point-to-point, making it an ideal material for very high-bandwidth/signal transmission over very short distances. more>>
