POF LEONI Fiber Optics

Polymer optical fiber (POF) has been on the market for many years. Both the fiber core and the cladding are made of polymer. Key advantages of polymer optical fibers are high flexibility (high alternate bending resistance with smaller bending radii) as well as more economical connecting and transmission technology than in the case of glass. Moreover, this type of fiber also has all the major benefits of a fiber optical cable connection: EMC security, clear galvanic separation, no crosstalk, low weight, etc.

POF can meanwhile be used to connect over distances up to 70 metres, which is normally sufficient for both industrial environments and smaller office as well as home networks. It is even possible to cover distances up to 150 metres by selecting suitable active components.
