Abbreviated as POF, PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber(also called Polymer Optical Fiber) is a type of optical fiber that uses uses PMMA (Acrylic) as the core material and Fluorinated polymers as the cladding material,which allows the transmission of light.

POF is often called consumer optical fiber because it is a low-cost optical fiber alternative that is easier to use than glass optical fiber. It sustains a data transfer speed of 2.5GB/s, which isn't as fast as glass optical fiber, but is much faster than traditional copper wire.On the other hand, the weight is lighter and cost is lower than traditional cooper wire.

CC2 Series of PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber-POF Cable refers to the PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber jacketed with PE or PVC or PUR sheath to protect the PMMA Fiber Core from harsh environment. The CC series POF Simplex cable is normally used to replace some famous brands such as Asahi DC-1000 POF Simplex Cable, HITRONIC J-V2Y(ZN)11Y POF Simplex Cable,Mitsubishi ESKA SH4001 POF Cable for short distance transmission within 100meters.
