The transparency of plastic optical fiber, which is lower than that of quartz optical fiber, has been successfully increased. Compared with its quartz counterpart, plastic optical fiber is light, strong against bending and can perform high-volume signal transmission. It has already been used in high-capacity intra-building networks at hospitals and office buildings.

POF(plastic optical fiber) is a kind of optical fiber, which consists of High Clear polymer, such as polystyrenePMMApolycarbonate to be the fiber core, and PMMA fluoroplastic to be cladding. Different material has different light attenuation performance and temperature limit. POF can be used not only in last 100---1000 meters of access network, also in vehicles planes. It's an excellent data transmission medium of short distance.
