Molex offers fully customizable, cost-competitive Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cable-assembly and harnesses solutions, providing maximum flexibility to customers specifying optical cabling in industrial, medical, renewable-energy, power transmission and distribution, transportation and consumer applications including controls, drives, factory automation, high-speed trains, sensors and imaging. Plastic optical fiber (POF) cables, made from light-conducting plastics, are used for optical cabling networks over short distances, while glass fiber-optic cables are used for long distances.
Customers are able to specify assemblies and harnesses in terms of connector types, jacket material and color, temperature range, UL certification, cable lengths and tolerances. Molex SMI connectors, plus a wide range of connectors from different manufacturers, are available to answer specific application requirements at a competitive cost.
Purchasing fully customized cable solutions from Molex can allow customers to simplify their supply-chain through vendor reduction and remove third-party margins/ costs.
