Special fibers

Polymer Fiber (POF)

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)
  • More economical connecting and transmission technology than in the case of glass.
  • 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.

Polymer cladded fiber (PCF)

Polymer cladded fiber (PCF) has been on the market for many years, standing out by being very robust and easy to assemble. Compared with thick-core glass fibers, they are not only more robust but also considerably cheaper.
