TCU-1000 Asahi Kasei Data Link POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links
TCU-1000 TCU-1000W identifies a Asahi Kasei plastic optical data cable that combines large-core alignment tolerance with electromagnetic immunity for short-range networks.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the TCU-1000 TCU-1000W as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- 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
- Light weight with good flexibility and vibration resistance for moving machinery
- No electrical continuity between nodes, providing galvanic isolation and spark-free links
Typical Applications
The TCU-1000 TCU-1000W 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: Can it be used in moving equipment? A: Yes. The polymer core and flexible jacket resist vibration and repeated flexing better than glass, making it suitable for machinery and light-motion applications.
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.
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: 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.
