Optical fiber, short for optical fiber, is a fiber made of glass or plastic that acts as a light-transmitting tool

According to incomplete statistics, the output of optical fibers in China in 2020 is about 940,000 kilometers, an increase of 6.
82% over 2019, and the capacity utilization rate is about 90.
38%

The realization of home network is also inseparable from plastic optical fibers.
Home automation requires entertainment facilities, digital devices, home security equipment and home PCs to form the same network, and to apply remote control management, which can be achieved through plastic optical fibers; the same office equipment Networking and remote office can also be completed; the formation of locomotive on-board network is also indispensable for plastic optical fibers.
In the future design of locomotives, satellite navigation equipment, mobile phones, faxes, microcomputers and other external devices are bound to be included

In the import and export of domestic plastic optical fibers, the imports are mainly from the United States and other regions, and the exports are mainly to Southeast Asia such as Thailand

With the implementation of strategies such as "Broadband China" and "Internet +", especially the continuous construction of fiber-to-the-home and 5G, China's fiber optic cable market has flourished in the past few years, the market scale has further expanded, and the strength of leading companies has continued to increase

According to incomplete statistics, the output of plastic optical fibers in China in 2020 is about 940,000 kilometers, an increase of 6.
82% over 2019, and the capacity utilization rate is about 90.
38%

At present, the penetration rate of domestic plastic optical fiber is still lower than that of foreign countries, and it is relatively insufficient in some downstream applications

In the application of China's scenes, the needs of indoor integrated wiring, power meter reading, interior decoration, waterscape lighting, special occasions of flammable and explosive, utilization of sunlight, and plastic optical fiber sensing are constantly emerging.
It has also been widely used in national defense construction

In the entire optical fiber industry, due to the large investment in it in the past, the industry is in a state of overcapacity.
In recent years, with the reform of overcapacity, the optical fiber and cable industry has eliminated outdated production capacity, and the entire industry has begun to develop gradually and healthily
.
In the plastic optical fiber industry, the same trend is gradually showing, the price of products is gradually falling, and the profitability of the industry has been greatly affected
