FEATURES | BENEFITS

Graded-index perfluorinated POF: combining the best of the glass fiber and plastic fiber worlds

Until now, the simplicity of plastic optical fiber came with a heavy price: low performance and a restriction to visible wavelengths. The Chromis GigaPOF® line overcomes that trade-off with low attenuation, IR-transparent perfluorinated polymer materials, a graded refractive index, and exacting geometric tolerances. GigaPOF-120SR easily supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed applications at distances up to 100 meters. Fast Ethernet is supported up to 200 meters.

Gigabit transmission capability with the simplicity of plastic optical fiber

GigaPOF-120SR meets the need for a high-performance fiber that can be used with very inexpensive connectors and apparatus. The 120-mm core of this fiber allows wide alignment and dimensional tolerances for components, but still couples well to most high-speed detectors.

Like the rest of our GigaPOFÒ line of optical fibers, GigaPOF-120SR can be easily terminated with simple, inexpensive tools, and tolerates long-term installed bend radii as small as 10 mm. .

Unequaled speed and flexibility

No other large-core optical medium provides the bandwidth and flexibility of GigaPOF-120SR. With minimum installed bend radius less than one third of 100/140 multimode silica fiber, and bandwidth 30 times higher than step-index POF, GigaPOF-120SR is your best choice for high speed in tight spaces.
