◆ It is possible to build a high-speed transmission system at low cost. ◆ It can also be used in systems with extreme bending at the connector part, movable equipment, and internal wiring in devices with many bending points.
■Multi-core POF can minimize light transmission loss when the fiber is bent by increasing the number of cores. - Transmission Loss (Guiding Loss) The light transmission characteristics of plastic optical fibers vary depending on the wavelength of light. - Weather Resistance Asahi Kasei's plastic optical fiber (POF) is primarily made of P-MMA resin, which has excellent weather resistance, so its initial performance rarely deteriorates over long periods. However, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may cause changes such as yellowing, so please be cautious. - Flexibility Compared to electrical wires, it has excellent fracture strength against bending, but extreme bends can cause light transmission loss. Please use it within the allowable bending radius for each grade. For wiring with extreme bends, we recommend using Asahi Kasei's "Multi-core POF," which does not experience a decrease in light quantity when bent. - Chemical Resistance Generally, exposure to organic solvents may cause a decrease in light transmission rate or mechanical strength, so please be cautious. For adhesive use, we recommend a room temperature curing two-component mixed type epoxy adhesive.

basic information
<Handling Precautions> - Usage Restrictions Do not use for applications that come into contact with food, or for catheters, endoscopes, etc., that come into direct contact with the human body. If you intend to use it for medical purposes, please consult with a representative from Opto Science Co., Ltd. in advance. We will make an appropriate judgment in consultation with the manufacturer. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is made of resin and is not designed to withstand excessive weight. When POF plays a critical role in a system or equipment, please take care in system design to manage the usage environment (temperature, humidity, surrounding solvents, light sources, etc.) and consider implementing backups. - High-Temperature Heating Precautions Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is made of resin and will soften when the temperature exceeds 100°C. When the temperature exceeds 200°C, some of the resin will begin to decompose, generating flammable gases, and there is a risk of ignition at even higher temperatures. In particular, when using lamps as a light source, please ensure that the temperature of the POF does not exceed 80°C due to its performance characteristics. - Storage Precautions To prevent degradation of the performance of plastic optical fiber, store it indoors away from direct sunlight, rain, water leaks, and excessive humidity.
