Abstract

The main objectives of this paper is to improve knowledge of multimode fiber transmission over step-index plastic optical fiber SI POF with 1000 Lim core. The thick SI POF fibers seem a very attractive alternative in local computer networks for the “classic” (thin) single- and multimode fibers because of their low price and easy installation. In the paper we show measurements of bandwidth and attenuation of various SI POF optical paths. In particular, there was investigated a cascade of passive components (couplers, patchcords) which can be part of transparent (passive) optical networks.
