IEEE Publishes Standard Amendment for 1000 Mb/s Ethernet Over POF

IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), today announced the publication of IEEE 802.3bv™—Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 1000 Mb/s Operation Over Plastic Optical Fiber. The IEEE 802.3bv standard amendment responds to demand for high-speed Ethernet solutions for automotive, industrial, and home network connectivity. Plastic optical fiber provides unique capabilities for these applications where long link lengths aren’t required. Increasingly, automotive and industrial networks are migrating towards Ethernet. Plastic optical fiber is already in use in automobiles and other vehicles, and IEEE 802.3bv provides a robust and reliable media option for Ethernet automotive networks. As an alternative transmission medium, the standard is also applicable to harsh, electrically noisy environments such as industrial automation islands and other applications with similar requirements.

For the complete press release, please see the IEEE website.

Live Demonstration of Optical networking solutions for the World’s Top Automotive Brands

MADRID, Jan. 16, 2017  — At the upcoming Automotive Ethernet Congress on February 7 to 8, 2017 in Munich, Germany, KDPOF CEO Carlos Pardo will present “Optical Ethernet in Automotive. Already a Reality.” In the exhibition area, KDPOF will display their latest solutions on Gigabit Plastic Optical Fiber (POF). Highlights include the GEPOF (Gigabit Ethernet over POF) Automotive Kit for technology evaluation. The kit is self-contained and includes all necessary components to set up and test 100 and 1000 Mbps links over POF. It is based on KDPOF’s SFP-POF electronic board, which allows versatile, auto-grade Lab measurements at extreme operating temperature, radiation and voltage corners.

You are welcome to visit our exhibit and learn more about our automotive optical Ethernet highlights. We look forward to meeting you there.

For setting up a meeting, please contact us at: support@kdpof.com.
