Potential of the polymer optical fibers deployed in a 10Gbps small office/home office network.
We have performed a detailed study of four Perfluorinated Graded Index Polymer Optical Fiber (50/490, 62.5/490 and 120/490) issued from several manufacturers and designed to be used in short length (100m) small office/home office network operating at 850nm. We have used commercially available 850nm low cost XFP transceivers and have compared the power dispersion penalties measurements with the ones realized using a photoreceiver including the Electronic Dispersion Compensation technology to increase the range of the transmission without impairments. It will be demonstrated the potential of the polymer fibers coupled to the electronic dispersion compensation technology to successfully transmit a 10GBase-SR signal with a Bit Error Rate of 10(-12) over 100m.
