FC 1000μm Large Core Fiber Optic Patch Cord – High Transmission POF Cable

FC plastic optical fiber cable transparent large core optical fiber (FC 1000um pof)

This product utilizes a highly transparent plastic cable sheath and a large-core 1000µm POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) to visually observe the internal fiber connection status and optical signal transmission. This allows for quick docking during installation without the need for specialized calibration equipment, and allows for precise fault location during routine maintenance, significantly reducing operational barriers and maintenance costs. The 1000µm large-core design offers an exceptionally wide light collection angle (numerical aperture 0.5) and a high tolerance for docking misalignment, making connections easy even for non-professionals. Furthermore, the single-core bandwidth reaches up to 1Gbps (up to 100m), meeting the needs of short-distance, high-speed signal transmission.

Development of FC Specialty Fiber (FC 1000um POF)

Leveraging the advantages of FC 1000um POF's large core diameter (a light-collecting angle of 0.5°C and easy docking), material modifications and structural optimizations are implemented for specific applications. For heat-resistant applications, POF substrate modification extends the operating temperature range to -50°C to 120°C, making it suitable for environments such as high-temperature industrial furnaces and cold chain monitoring, while avoiding the high-temperature softening and low-temperature brittle cracking issues associated with conventional POF. For flame-retardant applications, V0-grade flame-retardant POF material and sheathing are used. These materials remain flame-resistant and release no toxic gases, meeting the stringent fire protection requirements of data centers, subways, and substations. For corrosion resistance, a fluoride coating is added to protect against corrosive media such as acidic and alkaline solutions and marine salt spray, making them suitable for optical links in chemical plants and marine exploration equipment. For medical applications, biocompatible POF material (compliant with ISO 10993) is selected. Standard), no harmful substances are released, and it can be used for optical connection of medical monitors and diagnostic equipment.
