POF CABLE
14/17.3 mm Black Solid-Core Side-Glow Fiber Optic Cable
This is a solid-core side-glow (side-emitting) optical fiber that radiates continuously along its length — a flexible, waterproof neon-like line for contour and ambient lighting.

14/17.3 mm Black Solid-Core Side-Glow Fiber Optic Cable
This is a JINSHANG TECH 17.3 mm/18 mm/20 mm solid-core side-glow (side-emitting) optical fiber that radiates light continuously along its entire length, creating a flexible neon-like line of light.
Manufactured for production use rather than as a one-off sample, the unit is built to a stable fiber specification so orders can be repeated with consistent dimensions and performance.
Key Characteristics
- Fiber diameter: 1.00mm-18.0mm
- Operating temperature range: -40~75Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Standard length: 100m/roll,2.0kg/ roll
- Certified to ISO9001,RoHS
- Outer jacket: 14/17.3mm 16/18mm 18/20mm
- Stays cool to the touch and emits no UV at the lit surface
- Single-color or RGB color-changing depending on the coupled illuminator
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for contour and edge lighting for ceilings, stairs, handrails and signage, automotive interior ambient and P-shape glow lines, and pool, spa, landscape and underwater linear lighting. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is side-glow fiber? A: Unlike end-glow fiber that emits only at the tip, side-glow (side-emitting) fiber leaks light along its entire length to form a continuous luminous line like neon.
Q: How thick should it be? A: Larger diameters glow brighter and carry light farther; 6 mm suits short runs, while 8–14 mm maintains brightness over long or many-bend outlines.
Q: Can it be used outdoors or in water? A: Yes — the glowing section is waterproof and carries no electricity, so it is suitable for pools, spas and outdoor architectural use with a remote light source.
Q: How does it change color? A: The fiber itself is clear; coupling it to an RGB or RGBW illuminator lets the whole line change color, dim or follow effects.
