POF plastic optical fiber cables
-
Cablek can provide custom POF plastic optical fiber cable assemblies, built to your specifications.
-
Our assemblies are built with the popular Avago Technologies highly reliable, and low cost optical "versatile link" standard quality cable and HFBR connectors.
Plastic fiber advantages:
Optical fiber technology has changed data communication transfer especially in the industrial environment, where data must be transferred between machines rapidly while still ensuring high reliability. Optical fiber is typically fabricated from either transparent plastic (POF = plastic optical fiber) or glass. Optical fibers provide many advantages:
-
The dielectric material eliminates ground loop and common mode noise problems. It also isolates large common mode voltage since there is no direct electrical contact between transmitter and receiver.
-
It is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This prevents signal interference as well as coupled noise between neighboring cables.
-
It can protect equipment from excessive voltage, and ensure data integrity by eliminating the hazard of generating sparks.
Capabilities: Custom lenght, using Versalink type "R" standard quality plastic fiber cable, and connectors
