Function: Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cables and accessories designed for data transmission in various industrial and telecommunications applications. Compatible with Broadcom Versatile Link Family connectors and components.
Usage: Ideal for industrial data links, intra-system links (board-to-board, rack-to-rack), telecommunications switching systems, computer-to-peripheral data links, proprietary LANs, digitized video, and medical instruments. Offers reduction of lightning and voltage transient susceptibility and high voltage isolation.
Advantages: Available in two grades: Standard POF (0.22 dB/m typical attenuation) and High Performance Extra Low Loss POF (0.19 dB/m typical attenuation). Both grades operate within -40C to 85C. Compliant with UL VW-1 flame retardant specification.
Application Scenarios: Factory automation, plant control, intra-system links, telecommunications switching, PC bus extension, proprietary LANs, digitized video, medical instruments.
