Abstract
We present our prototype solution for transmitting 100 Mb/s Ethernet data over large core
(1 mm) step-index polymer optical fiber (POF), as one of the final results of the EU-funded
project POF-ALL. The system is demonstrated over a record maximum distance of 275 m, largely
outperforming CAT-5 systems and currently commercially available POF media converters. These
results let us envision POF deployment for home networking and industrial automation and in
general for all those environments in which ease of installation, rugged solution, low-cost
and electromagnetic compatibility issues are requested.
