for led lighting decoration and data communication
Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is a unique member of the optical fiber
family. POF is made of Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA),
with a large core diameter (~1 mm) and high numerical aperture (NA
0.3 – 0.5).
POF is ideally suited for deployment either by a professional
installer or a do-it-yourself installer using basic tools,
such as a pair of scissors or a cutter, and inexpensive plastic
connectors.

It is easy to appreciate the huge core diameter (20x) as well as
the relativelly thin clad of POF compared to MM-GOF.
Advantages of POF
Thanks to its huge core diameter, POF is immune to misalignments
and strong vibrations, and can be installed in rugged industrial
and automotive environments without any loss of communication
capacity.
POF and its connectors and optoelectronics are low cost consumer
parts that enable installers to save on cable costs and
installation, as well as testing and maintenance time.
Widely used in over 20 million cars for infotainment networks, POF
is part of the automotive standard, Media Oriented Systems
Transport for high-speed data transmission in car networks.
