LEONI offers POF and PCF cables, which are advantageous for their flexibility, low cost, and essential properties like low EMC susceptibility and galvanic isolation. POF fibers are suitable for shorter distances (up to 70m), while PCF fibers can cover up to 500m, making them viable for industrial and office networks.
LEONI is committed to high-quality standards and environmental responsibility, certified under ISO TS 16949, DIN EN ISO 9001:2000, and DIN EN ISO 14001. The company ensures product quality through rigorous testing and traceability.
Various jacketing materials are used to protect fibers, with options like PUR and PVC for industrial environments. Attenuation tests are conducted to ensure compliance with specifications, using a method that measures over 500m to reduce errors.
LEONI provides a detailed labeling and part number system for ordering fiber optic cables, ensuring traceability and quality assurance. Cables are identified with markers according to customer instructions.
Polymer Optical Fibers are plastic fibers with a transparent core and cladding with a lower refractive index. They have higher attenuation and larger diameters compared to silica fibers, making them economical, lightweight, and easy to install. POFs are suitable for data transmission up to 125 Mbit/s over 70 meters, extendable to 150 meters with appropriate components.
