DC-265-7 Asahi Kasei Data Link POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links
DC-265-7 DC-265-10 DC-500 is a Asahi Kasei graded PMMA/POF communications cable engineered for high-bandwidth, easy-to-terminate optical links in industrial and consumer networks.
Manufactured for production use rather than as a one-off sample, the DC-265-7 DC-265-10 DC-500 is built to a stable fiber specification so orders can be repeated with consistent dimensions and performance.
Key Characteristics
- Certified to ISO9001, RoHS, CE
- Outer jacket: 2.2
- Core/fiber material: 1.0mm
- Fiber diameter: 1.0mm
- Attenuation rated at ≤0.2 over the operating wavelength
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- Simpler, lower-cost tooling than glass fiber — no fusion splicer required
- Large polymer core tolerates modest alignment, so termination is fast without high-precision cleaving
Typical Applications
The DC-265-7 DC-265-10 DC-500 is commonly used for industrial point-to-point links between PLCs, drives, sensors and controllers. 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.
