Abstract:

Optical communication is an internationally accepted communication for long distance communication. As it is a reliable way of communication it can be implement in short distance communication. The term short distance communication is commonly define for in-home connections, automotive, hospitals etc. For short distance communication low cost, low lose high speed and high capacity transmission medium is required. In this work it explains about an optical transmission medium that is a plastic optical fiber instead of a glass fiber as it can meet all the demands of short distance communication requirements. This paper defines about a POF link and its scope in recent years. Some of the prime objectives or demands that need to be addressed are increased capacity, improved data rate, decreased latency, and better quality of service. To meet these demands, drastic improvements need to be made in cabling side. This paper presents the results of a detailed survey and scopes of POF.
