Plastic Optical Fiber

Plastic Optical Fiber

360 Viewer

An optical fiber made of plastic. In large-diameter fibers, 96% of the cross section is the core that
allows the transmission of light. Similar to traditional glass fiber, POF transmits light (or data)
through the core of the fiber. The core size of POF is in some cases 100 times larger than glass
fiber.
