Fast Ethernet POF networks with standard 4B5B coding schemes are an attractive solution for local access data transmission systems in the transmission distance range from 30m to 100m.

Up to a transmission distance of 70m it is feasible to use a simplex POF cable for the realization of a full duplex operating data link. Simplex cables comprise one optical waveguide only.

Unlike simplex glass fiber systems that utilize WDM multiplexing, POF systems are able to operate with directivity multiplexing at one wave-length only for both transmission directions.

This saves costs and makes the systems design easy. The technical basics for POF directivity multiplex are shown as well as the practical consequences for low cost POF-installations for intra building and apartment networks.

Up to now the system equipment for POF networks was more or less limited to media converter products (see figure below). Start sets of this type allow the installation of a 100Mbit/s Fast Ethernet link for every private customer.
