The Chinese telecommunication industry is a big push into the copper retreated and broadband light, this is including plastic optical fiber, optical fiber industry has brought great opportunity. Compared with the traditional optical fiber, plastic optical fiber with environmental protection, light, cheap and easy to operate, its market prospect in the communications industry, not only include electric power, municipal and other fields. However, compared with the traditional silica fiber industry, plastic optical fiber current power and voice is weak, the industrial chain of plastic optical fiber is short, only cable manufacturers, optical components, optical module, system manufacturers, engineering firms, etc., as a result, "collective" plastic optical fiber industry has become very necessary.

In order to better grasp the development opportunities of plastic optical fiber industry, break through the market development bottleneck, plastic optical fiber industry should strengthen communication and cooperation, common to promote the healthy development of plastic optical fiber industry, the industry to "the government concern, policy guiding, industry collaboration" the sustainable development of the track. After half a year's preparation, on June 29, China plastic optical fiber industry association and professional committee of China's informationization promoting union plastic optical fiber industry was formally established in Beijing. The alliance by the China electronic information industry development institute, communication industry newspaper, dozen companies institutes such as joint initiative, is made up of plastic optical fiber industrial chain related domestic enterprises and research institutions, and the units and individuals according to the principle of "voluntary, equality and cooperation" self-organizing community of mutual benefit, is around the plastic optical fiber technology, products, systems, solutions and related user market and so on to carry out the research, development, application and industry standardization, industrialization and so on work, non-profit organization. Union aims to enlarge the influence of industry, form industrial scale advantage, to promote the development of plastic optical fiber industry, set up the system of often communicate with the competent department of state, growing industry groups development. Alliance in the process of preparation by the Chinese electronic information industry development research institute, China's informatization promotion union support, such as jiangxi third-holiest plastic optical fiber co., LTD., Inner Mongolia golden triangle fiber optic technology co., LTD., dongguan city, a general industrial co., LTD., sichuan huiyuan plastic optical fiber co., LTD., shenzhen or source patent city co., LTD and other companies to become deputy director of the unit.

The experts say, at present, our country the size of the FTTH application and the construction of triple play, vigorously for plastic optical fiber industry development provides a good opportunity. In the information transmission cable "light into the copper retreat", "upgrade" strategy, in the process of plastic optical fiber will become the key technology to solve the problem of "the last kilometer", is a new important growth point of national economy.

Expert opinion

China telecom Ma Yiran: plastic optical fiber is to be in three ways. Increase the speed of broadband penetration and increase the bandwidth is the world's broadband two big key, so in our country, China telecom has been proposed at the beginning of this year "broadband optical network, China city" strategy, and clear up the FTTH agenda. Ma Yiran says Beijing institute of China telecom network technology engineers, indoor wiring is one of the size of FTTH development in our country are faced with the problem, and plastic optical fibers that can be used in FTTH indoor wiring link, play its role. At the same time, he says, despite the plastic optical fiber is the future choice of FTTH technology, but must have done in the following three aspects to have development space. One is the support equipment. "Plastic optical fiber need active wavelength conversion devices, but the active equipment must be active and existing equipment integration, otherwise the whole line may increase a active point of failure." Ma Yiran said. 2 it is to realize the centralized monitoring, namely the active device must be able to be monitored, so on the database can be quickly located. 3 it is to have good cost control. "Now every user access to the FTTH lines would be about $300 per user input, which in the building or indoor part is about 100 yuan, so the price of plastic optical fiber must be less than this level can play its cost advantage." He said.
