Graded-index Plastic Optical Fiber(GI-POF)
Graded-index Plastic Optical Fiber(GI-POF) refers to polymer fibres with a graded refractive-index profile across the core. Core and cladding index profiles guide light, while material, geometry, coating and bends affect attenuation and modal behaviour.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
For this subject, the supplied object is polymer fibres with a graded refractive-index profile across the core. Compare material, core and index profile, wavelength, mode field, numerical aperture and bend conditions. Polarizing fibre is not automatically the same as polarization-maintaining fibre. Medical or radiation-resistant labels require their stated exposure tests; for buried applications the cable and installation boundary matter beyond the fibre itself.
What turns activity into demand
Optical path length, mode requirements and qualified installation define fibre consumption. Cable construction, coating, handling loss and termination distinguish produced fibre length from an installed optical channel.
The commercial boundary
Count the specified fibre or waveguide, separately from cable, connectors and instruments. Material, mode and application categories overlap; a specialty label does not define one common specification.
What must match before two fibres can be treated as substitutes?
