POF CABLE
4 mm Swimming Pool 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.

4 mm Swimming Pool Solid-Core Side-Glow Fiber Optic Cable
This denotes a JINSHANG TECH solid-core side-glow fiber — a pliable luminous rope that emits 360° along its run when coupled to an LED illuminator.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the unit provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Fiber diameter: 4.0mm
- Operating temperature range: -50~70
- IP65 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Standard length: 100m/roll
- Certified to Ce, RoHS, EMC, Reach, FCC
- Core/fiber material: MMA
- Large cross-section (commonly 6–14 mm) for high visibility over long runs
- Waterproof and electrically passive at the glowing section for wet/outdoor use
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for 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: 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.
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 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: 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.
