Plastic optical fiber,also called polymer optical fiber,plastic fiber,PMMA fiber, is a new type of optical fiber which is becoming more and more important.
However, there are still some barries that stop or drag the imporving and application of plastic optical fiber(POF).
- Standard, this was a problem but with ISO and IEC standards coming out, things are imporving.
- Awareness of POF is still a major issue
- Other technology such as cooper wire and glass fiber optic are imporving
- Still a new thing for lots of design engineers or installers
- More application centers are needed
