Toray PFU-FB 500 / 750 / 1000 PMMA POF, 0.50-1.0 mm for Industrial Data Communication
Toray U-Grade PFU-FB 500/750/1000 step-index PMMA plastic optical fibre, 0.50-1.0mm, 0.15-0.18 dB/m @650nm, for industrial data links.
Toray PFU-FB 500 / 750 / 1000 are U-Grade step-index PMMA plastic optical fibres for industrial data communication, available in 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 mm diameters.
Product Overview
The Toray PF series is the company’s industrial data-communication POF family. These bare PMMA fibres use a fluorinated-polymer cladding and step-index profile, optimized for LED/PD short-distance links. The three diameters in this group — 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 mm — let you trade core size against loss and bend behaviour. They are supplied on spools (6000 m for the 0.50 mm grade, down to 1500/5250 m for the 1.0 mm grade). See the full POF fibre optical cable range.

FAQ
What is the difference between PF and PG Toray series?
PF series is aimed at industrial data communication/transmission; PG series is aimed at lighting and sensing. Both are step-index PMMA POF from Toray.
What wavelength is the attenuation rated at?
The Toray grade table lists attenuation at 650 nm, the visible red wavelength typical of POF LED links.
Is the 6000K / AC165-265V part of this fibre?
No — those describe the LED illuminator and were excluded from the fibre specs.
Why Choose Us
We supply Toray PF-series POF to the grade diameter actually listed and keep the Toray grade-table values traceable. Start from the POF category or the home page.
