examples for application
Polymer optical fibers can be used in all applications, where data must be transmitted over short or medium distances and where simple installation and/or the flexibility of the cable are important. The transmission speed in access networks is increasing continuously and currently up to 100…1000 Mbit/s are offered in many countries.
Fixed connections as a supplement to WLAN and power line are required in home networks for high quality applications. The POF is the only medium, which can be installed by the end customer himself.
