Multi Gb/s plastic wire

APPLICATIONS

MULTI Gb/s PLASTIC WIRE is a valuable alternative for copper link or wireless in data transmission. With the future expected increase of data traffic and the increase in transmission frequencies, cheap, multi-gigabit and low energy data transmission over meters distance are required.

The main targeted applications are :

• Transport (embedded electronics),
• Active cables (VS USB and Thunderbolt),
• Data centers.

DESCRIPTION

• This technology is a multi-gigabit communication link, using a plastic fiber as transmission channel.
• A cladding is designed around the waveguide to make a barrier to any perturbation.

BENEFITS

• Transmission rate > 10 Gbit/s,
• More efficient compared to wireless ,
• Isolation (Fewer external disturbance),
• Lighter,
• Low cost (plastic extrusion),
• Low consumption,
• Mechanical stability and robustness.
