Multimode cable is made of of glass fibers, with a common diameters in the 50-to-100 micron range for the light carry component. POF Fiber is a newer plastic-based cable which promises performance similar to glass cable on very short runs, but at a lower cost. Multimode fibers are described as— OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 […]

How Are Optical Fibers Manufactured
Materials For Optical Fibers There’s two major kinds of optical fibers: plastic optical fiber (POF) and glass optical fiber. POF fiber is usually designed for lighting or decoration such as fiber optic christmas trees. It is also used on short range communication applications for example on vehicles and ships. Because of plastic optical fiber’s high attenuation, […]
Development and Application of Plastic Optical Fiber
The plastic optical fiber (POF) constituts that the optical fiber core and cladding are made of plastic material. Compared with large core diameter 50/125um and 62.5/125um quartz glass multimode fiber, plastic optical fiber core diameter is up to 200-1000um, while continuing to use without the optical fiber positioning sleeve cheap injection-molded plastic connector, even The […]
