September 26th, 2016 @ Worldwide

Exhibiting at IEEE’s Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day which took place in Paris this year, OGEAR Japanese National project ran a demo of a 1Gbit/s automotive Ethernet stereoscopic ADAS across 15 meters of Plastic Optical Fibre (POF).

The Japanese Automotive Industry led by JASPAR organization is running a three years national funded project to develop the next generation optical networks in automotive. The first step in this race will be 1 Gbps over Plastic Optical Fiber and the chosen technology has been KDPOF´s Gigabit over POF technology.

The advantages of POF over other copper-based alternatives are well shown in the following video from the OGEAR council shown at the latest Paris Ethernet & IP Conference held in September 2016

Just released for the Automotive Market. Gigabit Ethernet over POF Kit

 

MADRID, Apr. 4, 2016  — KDPOF, the leading semiconductor supplier for the Automotive connectivity over Plastic Optical Fiber, has just released a Kit aimed for the Automotive Industry evaluation of the Gigabit Ethernet over POF technolgy.

The GEPOF (nickname for Gigabit Ethernet over POF), Automotive Kit is targeted for OEM and Tier supplier technology evaluation. The kit is self-contained and includes all the needed components to set up and test 100 and 1000 Mbps links over POF.

The kit is based on the “SFP-POF” electronic board that allows versatile, auto-grade Lab measurements at extreme operating temperature, radiation and voltage corners.

The kit is fully operational just out of the box including:

  • 2 SFP-POF media converter boards
  • 15 meters of POF harness with 4 in-line connectors
  • 40 meters or a single POF harness
  • Testing auxiliar material:
    • 100/1000 SFP modules for BASE-T and BASE-X links
    • Cat5e and Twinax cables
    • 15 meters MM GOF harness for EMC measurements
    • POF link visual inspection tool

The kit is designed for operations between -40 ºC to 105 ºC with a 12 V Battery voltage supply.

POF Standards for Automotive VANs

POFenAuto

Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is the only reasonible alternative for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps communication on EMC-constrained Vehicle Area Networks (VAN).

Although transmission with automotive quality over POF at 1 Gbps is only possible with the 1000BASE-RH protocol, there are several choices available to communicate at the lower speed of 100 Mbps. like 100BASE-RH or 100BASE-FX. In the following paper a comparison of both alternatives is done to help choose the best option for VAN.
