Abstract

Graded index HCS(GI-HCS) optical fibers are designed with unique features for computer networks in automation and process control, such as Ethernet, in an industrial environment. We demonstrated for the first time 1Gb/s transmission over 700m of a GI-HCS optical fiber with a 62.5 μm core and 200 μm clad. The transceiver used is an off-the-self Gigabit Ethernet VCSEL transceivers for multimode optical fiber. The field- terminated crimp and cleave connectors were found to have no detrimental effect.
