Product introduction

Plastic fiber (POF) is a kind of optical fiber (optical guide fiber) made of highly transparent polymers such as polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) as the core layer material, PMMA, fluorine plastic and so on as the skin material. Different materials have different light attenuation properties and temperature application ranges. Plastic fiber can not only be used for the last 100 to 1000 meters of the access network, but also can be used for a variety of cars, aircraft, and other vehicles, and is an excellent short-distance data transmission medium. There are two main types of materials for making POF: one is Polymer Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA); The other is Perfluorinated polymers.

Advantages of plastic fiber

The PVC sheath is added to the outside of the single-core bare fiber to effectively protect the bare fiber from damage and prevent interference of external light on the light in the fiber.

1, increase the outer sheath, effectively increase the mechanical properties of the optical cable, weather resistance and corrosion resistance, extend the service life of the optical fiber

2, the fiber is soft, can be bent at will, extended to a small space, the light into

3, environmental protection, non-toxic, no metal, recyclable
