The status quo of plastic optical fiber


POF abbreviation of Plastic Optical Fiber or called Polymer Optical Fiber is widely known now due to its great anti-interference and easy-installation. And POF is hoped to replace CAT5 and twisted-pair to be the main component for the network both on telecom or industry Ethernet.

In the view of products, POF is no doubt with more advantage. Firstly, POF is on the right side of the "Light back into the copper" development way. On the other hand, POF is standing on the point that saving energy, and more environmental friendly. Once POF related products become mature and stably, POF should be the most competitive products for Telecom network and Ethernet network.

Till now, POF is still not become the first thinking in Tele-com network and Ethernet network due to POF industry's immature. POF industry is still in a hard way and have not been widely used due to its industry chain have not been formed. What's the worse, Industry standard still have not been formed which has seriously restricted the development its development.

Now, with the POF industry development rapidly, the industry is become more and more mature, which requires each parts to cooperate and move forward.
