How to Select POF Cables for Industrial Control Links
A practical guide to core diameter, attenuation, jacket material and connector selection for industrial control applications.
Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) brings EMI-immune, plug-and-play connectivity to industrial control networks. We cover core diameter trade-offs (1mm step-index vs smaller graded-index), attenuation budgets for typical cell-to-controller runs, jacket selection (PU for drag-chains, PVC for static runs), and Versatile Link connector mating for harsh factory floors.
