Research on Characteristics of Plastic Materials and Plastic Optical Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plastic materials have many uses. The plastic optical fiber with a low-cost, light weight, good flexibility, big core diameter, easy coupling, anti-electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic radiation, is used for short range communication. This paper analyzed the characteristics of plastic materials and plastic optical fiber, and proposed a novel application technology for access network. In the access network, the plastic optical fiber is used as a transmission medium, from center router to the server, and the various floors of plastic optical fiber switch to the user using plastic optical fiber connections, constitute a plastic optical fiber local area network, to realize the true meaning fiber to the home.
