Plastic fiber optic module switch

Plastic optical fiber (POF) is a kind of optical fiber (Optical fiber) with highly transparent polymers such as polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) as the core material, and PMMA, fluoroplastics as the skin material. Different materials have different optical attenuation properties and temperature application ranges. Plastic optical fiber can not only be used for the last 100-1000 meters of access networks, but also for various vehicles such as cars, airplanes, and other means of transportation, making it an excellent medium for short distance data transmission.

The core component of the plastic fiber optic switch is the plastic fiber optic transceiver module. This type of Optical module uses a light source with a wavelength of 650nm, and the typical operating speed is 155Mbps. Generally, it uses two plastic optical fibers with an inner diameter of 1mm, an outer diameter of 2.2mm, a numerical aperture of 0.3-0.5, and attenuation less than 200dB/km as the transmission medium.

Plastic fiber optic switches are divided into various types based on ports, including 5 ports, 8 ports, 16 ports, 24 ports, 24+2G ports, etc.

Plastic fiber optic switching can be divided into various types according to management methods, such as non management type, WEB management type, serial port management type, SSMT management type, and so on.

Plastic optical fiber switches can be divided into Toshiba series, Firecomms series and POF-LINK series according to the source of Optical module.
