Fully customizable Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) assemblies and harnesses are a rugged, cost-effective solution offering maximum flexibility for optical cabling in many industrial, medical, transportation, renewable energy, smart grid and consumer applications. WEINERT offers special cables with polymer optical fiber (POF) or polymer cladded fiber (PCF). Typical application lengths for POF cable types are approx. 98 mm thick core made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as well as a thin sheath. In order to enable the guidance of light using the effect of total reflection in the core, the usually very thin sheath consists of fluorinated PMMA, which. Fibre optic cables are always used when high data rates cannot be transmitted using conventional electrical systems. due to the risk of explosion, or where high EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). The Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is a cable made up of filaments of polymeric materials, made in such a way as to be able to conduct the light inside them.
