Plastic Optical Fiber Electronic Components (Active Components)
Electronic devices or also known as active components are the key parts in fiber optic transmission systems. Components that require an electrical input in order for power are considered electronic or active devices.
Optical transmission systems generally consist of three main components. A transmitter converts electric sequences of signals into an optical signal which is then transmitted into optical transmission channel. The transmission channel or in this case the fiber optic cable, forwards the signal to the receiver. Transmission channels may contain other passive or active components. Once the receiver obtains the signal it converts it back into an electric signal which is then further used.
There are a variety of electronic and active components available for many different applications.
POF electronic devices include:
� Ethernet Converters
� Media Converters
� Repeaters
� Residential Wiring Accessories
� Video Devices
