New line of Plastic Optical (POF) Fiber and Cables from LEONI Fiber Optics
Selection of protective buffers, outer jackets and colors, fiber optic core sizes, numerical apertures and end terminations to fit application and customers’ needs.
Williamsburg, VA (April 14, 2011) – Allowing the use of plastic optical fiber cost-effectively in a wide variety of applications, LEONI Fiber Optics introduces its new standard line of plastic optic fiber cables. The LEONI POF has proven effective in a number of medical, scientific and industrial applications ranging from illumination in a 25 gauge probe for vitreo-retinal surgery, to factory automation and industrial control (Profibus, ProfiNet, Industrial Ethernet, SERCOS) and control systems for wind and solar power systems.
Polymer optical fibers (POF) have been on the market for many years. Both the fiber core and the cladding are made of polymer. Key advantages of polymer optical fibers are high flexibility (high alternate bending resistance with smaller bending radii) as well as more economical connecting and transmission technology than in the case of glass.
Moreover, this type of fiber also has all the major benefits of a fiber optical cable connection:
- • EMC security,
- • Clear galvanic separation,
- • No crosstalk,
- • Low weight
POF can by now be used to bridge distances up to 70 meters, which is normally sufficient for industrial environments and smaller office as well as home networks. It is even possible to cover distances up to 150 meters by selecting suitable active components. POF cables are available for indoors and outdoors. A wide range of constructions are available depending on the requirement.
- • Special requirements in terms of flexibility
- • Resistance to oil,
- • Resistance to UV,
- • Freedom from halogen or
- • Flame retardan
New Plugless Device Connects POF to Standard Wall Plates
 To facilitate the connection of polymer fibers via a plugless device that provides a very low db loss, ELII is introducing a device that plugs into wall plates already available in the market. The device connects polymer cables via a push-in mechanism that secures the cables in place, providing the end user with an easy way to connect a variety of POF products. The plugless device accepts cable with a diameter of 2.2mm.
The standard color is black, but other colors are available. The order number for the black device is ELII-2.20-L-B. |
Rugged Polymer Cable Assembly for Heavy Vehicles
Based on the SMA connector system with additional rugged parts, ELII is introducing a 40-meter cable assembly using 1mm POF. Additional lengths are available on request. The polymer assemblies are used in excavators, cranes, forklifts, and the like. The 40-meter configuration has a maximum attenuation of approximately 180dB.

European Research Consortium to Unveil Breakthrough of Gigabit Transmissions over POF at OFC 2011
 POF-PLUS, an EU sponsored research consortium backed by some of Europe’s largest telecom operators, including France Telecom and Telecom Italia, will present at OFC 2011 results of its research into and development of new commercially viable technologies for transmission at Gigabit speeds over Plastic Optical Fiber (POF).This new technology will be highlighted on two booths, and in a talk at the POF Symposium. On the POF-PLUS booth, # 2830, consortium members Firecomms, Luceat, and Rosetta IP will provide live demonstrations of Gigabit Ethernet transmissions utilizing media converters. Member organizations Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and POF Application Center (POFAC) will showcase novel developments of this new Gigabit transmission technology on the Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization (POFTO) booth, #2615. The developments of parallel optical transceivers for transmission of multi-gigabit transmission speeds also will be featured on the POFTO booth. “For several years major operators across Europe have deployed POF in home networks because of the simplicity and ultra-thin nature of POF,” says John Lambkin, CTO of Firecomms. “With these presentations, POF-PLUS is demonstrating how POF home networks, with guaranteed reliability and the lowest maintenance costs, are future-proofed for the next twenty years or more.” The OFC 2011 Exposition will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California on March 8-10, 2011. |
New Electronic Links International POF Connector System Ideal for Industrial Applications
Electronic Links International Inc. today introduces its new printed circuit board Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) connector and mating POF cable assembly for industrial applications, such as industrial vision, machine control, power system control, solar panel tracking control, and robotics. Taking advantage of Firecomms’ Industrial Data Link (IDL) series Fiber Optic Transceivers (FOT), ELI’s new industrial connector systemincludes connectors with apositivelatching mechanism for a stable connection, and can deliver data at a rate of 200 Mbps, up to 50meters using a POF cable with a 0.3 NA. “Firecomms is pleased to have our IDL series FOTs embedded in an additional innovative connector system for industrial applications that require a ruggedized latching connector for demanding environments,” says Lawrence Thorne, Firecomms’ vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas.
