LT-0100 POF - Plastic Fibre Optics
A plastic fibre is an equivalent to optical multi mode glass fibres. Whereas glass fibre are used for long distance and high speed data transmission, plastic fibres are commonly used for local area networks for data and signal transmission. Nowadays the transmission losses with 12 dB / 50 m of these fibres are significantly higher than those of the glass fibres. A lot of effort is undertaken to remove this disadvantage, since the manufacturing and installation costs of plastic fibres are comparably low. For signal transfer at short distances optical plastic fibre play an important role. Especially in harsh environments for example high voltage power stations, signal transfer via light and plastic fibre can be performed almost free of noise. The light transfer in all plastic fibres (APF) is achieved by using a plastic core which is coated with a material to obtain a step index profile. Typical diameters are 1 mm for the core which simplifies the coupling of light compared to glass fibres significantly. Also the preparation process, the cutting of the fibre can be done with a simple cutter blade instead of using special cleaving tools as it is the case for glass fibres.A.
