Why Use POF Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) offers all of the advantages of lass optical fiber without any of the challenges. POF is extremely reliable and rugged which has led to it’s recent adoption in the residential and commercial networking market. With super fast data rates of up to one Gigabit per second and assured high service quality levels, POF is the most robust technology for 100Mbps Optical Ethernet networks. POF is also ideally suited for delivering high-bandwidth emerging applications like IPTV and other triple play services. There are many advantages of deploying POF for residential and commercial networking instead of traditional wiring like CAT5 and CAT6.
Quick, Easy and Inexpensive Installations POF can be deployed by a home builder, professional installer, or do-it-yourself installer using basic tools. POF offers simple “garden hose” style connectivity which makes installations simple, easy, quick and far more straight-forward than other residential and commercial networking technologies. POF is so quick, easy, and inexpensive to install that it will reduce the cost of truck rolls for Broadband Service Providers.
High Bandwidth POF offers data rates of up to one 100 Mbps and assured high quality of service to every device in homes or offices. This makes POF the most robust technology for 100Mbps Optical Ethernet networks in residential and commercial settings.
Small and Convenient At the ultra-thin diameter of 2.2 mm, POF can be easily deployed in new construction or retrofit installations either inside wall cavities or outside the wall along baseboards, under carpets or anywhere cable is typically run.
Rugged and Durable POF is an extremely rugged and durable technology that can bend and flex without any loss of service, loss of bandwidth, or worry of damaging the cabling. This makes POF ideal for deployment in all types of construction.
Immunity to Electrical Noise POF transmits data optically which makes it completely immune to electrical noise. This means that POF can even be installed next to electrical wiring. This is an important advantage of POF for bandwidth-intensive applications like multimedia data transmission as the signal delivered over POF will not degrade or be impacted negatively by external noise.
Simple Design POF is ideal for architects and home / office designers as one POF cable supplies all of the network media needs. Currently, it can be used for point-to-point links up to 100 meters for 100Mbps with support of low-cost repeaters that extend the Flexible Fiber network.
Cost Effective Plastic Optical Fiber cabling, POF devices, connectors, and fiber optic transceivers are inexpensive and ideal for Broadband Service Providers and builders who are looking to deploy advanced residential and commercial networking products within tight budgets.
Quick Troubleshooting Troubleshooting is quick and easy as POF uses a visible eye-safe red light to transfer data from one device to another. POF is the only interconnect technology where the signal can be seen at both ends which makes troubleshooting very easy. A quick glance inside the cable will indicate successful connectivity to the network by showing a red light.
Widely Used POF is a proven technology in many markets and is widely used in the automotive industry. There are over 20 million cars using Plastic Optical Fiber to deliver high speed in-car infotainment.
