Molexs SMI plastic optical Interconnects high-speed and effective data connections for consumer and end-user applications. Data rates up to 250 mbps are achieved over long distances. This plastic optical system provides many benefits over traditional metallic systems. Designed to provide a end-to-end solution, molex offers the complete solution with the optoelectronic transmitter and receiver module integrated with transceiver, adapter, cable assemblies and complementary tooling. Electro magnetic interference (emi), radio frequency interference (rfi) and ground loops are no longer a concern with the non-metallic plastic optical fiber (pof) cabling. In addition, the plastic optical fiber connectors and transceivers are light weight and more cost effective than the traditional glass or copper cabling counterparts. Smi is a pof interface defined by the iec. Smi is gaining acceptance as an industry standard pof interconnect for applications ranging from internal equipment data links to set-top box interfaces and internet protocol television (iptv) applications. Smi plastic optical interconnects complement molex's existing line of optical products.
