Plastic Optical Fiber Description
Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is a modern optical fiber made from polymer materials, designed for efficient light signal transmission with high refractive index and low transmission loss. It consists of three layers:
- Core: High-refractive-index polymer guides the light.
- Cladding: Lower-index polymer confines light within the core.
- Jacket/Coating: Protective layer shields the fiber from mechanical damage, moisture, and chemical exposure.
The fiber works via total internal reflection. Its low attenuation and flexibility make it suitable for environments where bending and handling are frequent.
Plastic Optical Fiber Applications
- Data Communication: Short-range networks, industrial Ethernet, in-home data links.
- Automotive Electronics: Infotainment, lighting controls, driver-assist systems.
- Industrial Sensing & Control: Factory automation, robotics, machine vision.
- Medical Devices: Light delivery for diagnostics, sensors, and phototherapy.
- Home & Building Automation: Lighting systems, smart appliances, control networks.
Plastic Optical Fiber Packaging
Our products are packaged in customized cartons of various sizes based on the material dimensions. Small items are securely packed in PP boxes, while larger items are placed in custom wooden crates. We ensure strict adherence to packaging customization and the use of appropriate cushioning materials to provide optimal protection during transportation.
Packaging: Carton, Wooden box, Paper barrel, Iron barrel, or customized.
Customization Options
Core sizes, coatings, and connector types can be customized. Square-core fibers and short sample lengths are available for testing.
