As ultrahigh data rates move into new applications, including UHD video and data centers, optical transmission solutions become attractive at increasingly short distances. In recent years, Active Optical Cables (AOCs) have been developed with Plastic Optical Fibers (POF) to meet these needs. In this talk, I will discuss new approaches to POF AOCs, aimed at minimizing the cost and adding new performance capabilities to AOCs.
