Multi-core POF (for signal transmission and sensor)

SMCN-400P-6 for a mobile apparatus

SMCN-400P-6 for a mobile apparatus

 MULTI-CORE POF--with a large number of "cores" emplaced in a sea of "clad"-- is a completely new type of optical fiber developed by Asahi Kasei.
Until now, the versatility of optical fibers has been limited by the increased attenuation which accompanied bending. MULTI-CORE POF, with its unique multi-core structure, has eliminated this problem for all practical purposes. Even the tightest kink in the cord will not cause attenuation to rise significantly.
With freedom from concerns of increased attenuation, M-grade plastic optical fiber enables a whole new range of applications and installation configurations.
