Abstract :
Ballpoint-pen interconnect of world´s fastest graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) is developed for 4K/8K video data transfer. The 120 Gb/s GI POF cable with ballpoint-pen connector is a promising candidate for consumer-friendly interface in upcoming 4K/8K era toward the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
