Tutorial

Josef Faller (homefibre digital network gmbh, Austria)
INSTALLATION 4.0 WITH PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBRE

In this Tutorial, we like to discuss the well-known pros and cons of POF technology with focus on the impact to and the combination with the electrical installation. We like to show a concept how electrical installation and POF broadband network can be merged to a high efficient installation concept, called INSTALLATION 4.0.
