Plastic Optical Fiber Has Different Optical Attenuation Performance And Temperature Application Range

Plastic optical fiber (POF) is made of highly transparent polymers such as polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) as the core material, and PMMA, fluoroplastics, etc. as the skin material. Class fiber (optical fiber). Different materials have different light attenuation properties and temperature application ranges. Plastic optical fiber can be used not only in the last 100-1000 meters of the access network, but also in various vehicles, airplanes, and other vehicles. It is an excellent short-distance data transmission medium.

Plastic Optical Fiber, Plastic Optical Fiber. As of 2014, the optical fibers used in communication optical cables are basically quartz optical fibers composed of high-purity silica SiO2 with appropriate dopants. In recent years, plastic optical fiber (POF) has been gradually developed, which is an optical fiber made of a light-transmitting polymer. Because it can use the mature simple drawing process of polymer, the cost is relatively low, and it is relatively soft, strong, large in diameter (about 1mm), and the connection loss is low.

There are two main types of materials for making POF: one is PMMA (Polymer Polymethylmethacrylate); the other is Perfluorinated polymers.
