- Heat resistance: The heat resistance of POF depends on the heat resistance of the plastic it is made from. - Flexibility: Plastic optical fibers have superior break strength under bending compared to electrical wires, but please use them within the allowable bending radius for each grade. For wiring with extreme bends, we recommend using Asahi Kasei's "Multi-Core POF," which does not experience a decrease in light transmission even when bent. - Chemical resistance: Plastic optical fibers can generally be affected by organic solvents, leading to a decrease in light transmission or mechanical strength, so please be cautious. <Handling Precautions> - Do not use for applications that come into contact with food, or for catheters, endoscopes, or other applications that come into direct contact with the human body. If used for medical purposes, please consult with an Opto-Ron Science representative in advance. We will make appropriate judgments in consultation with the manufacturer. - Plastic optical fibers (POF) are made of resin and are not designed to withstand excessive loads. - POF is made of resin, and if the environmental conditions for using POF are incorrect, there is a risk that the POF may break or its light guiding performance may decrease, resulting in a loss of light transmission function.

basic information
Please manage the usage environment (temperature, humidity, surrounding solvents, light sources, etc.) and consider system design aspects such as taking backups. - Caution for high-temperature heating: Plastic optical fibers (POF) are made of resin, which softens above 100°C, and begins to decompose above 200°C, generating flammable gases, with a risk of ignition at even higher temperatures. Please consider adding cooling devices. Additionally, when using a converging lens to capture strong light, if dirt or other contaminants are present on the end face of the POF, the surface temperature may rise, posing a fire hazard. Please be careful to keep the end face of the POF free from dirt and contaminants. - Storage precautions: To prevent degradation of the performance of plastic optical fibers, please store them indoors, away from direct sunlight, rain, water leaks, and excessive humidity. - Disposal precautions: Plastic optical fibers (POF) or POF cables contain fluororesin and polyvinyl chloride resin. Please dispose of them in accordance with the laws of the country or region in which you are located. *The above information is based on currently available materials, information, and data, and may be revised as new knowledge becomes available.
