Black POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links Type 2
This is a JINSHANG TECH graded PMMA/POF communications cable engineered for high-bandwidth, easy-to-terminate optical links in industrial and consumer networks.
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: 1.0mm-pmma
- Attenuation rated at ≤0.2 over the operating wavelength
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Certified to RoHS,ISO9001
- Immune to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference from motors, drives and inverters
- Tough PE/PVC jacket resists abrasion and handles repeated flexing
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for industrial point-to-point links between PLCs, drives, sensors and controllers, factory automation and equipment where EMI from motors and inverters is present, and short-range consumer and appliance data networks. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What distance and bandwidth does POF data cable support? A: Plastic optical fiber is aimed at short-range links (typically within a room, cabinet or machine). Exact bandwidth/length follows the grade (e.g. SH/GH/LH/MH series) and the transceiver wavelength; consult the grade specification for your bit rate.
Q: Why choose POF instead of copper for data? A: POF provides complete electrical isolation and is immune to EMI, so links remain stable near variable-frequency drives and motors without grounding or shielding concerns.
Q: Is POF data cable hard to terminate? A: No. Its large core tolerates alignment, and simple cutting/crimping tools are used — no laser safety training or fusion splicer is required.
Q: Which POF grade do I need? A: Lower-loss grades support longer/higher-speed links; standard grades suit short equipment connections. Match the grade to the attenuation and distance given in the specifications.
