Although glass optical fibers would also offer a number of benefits for these applications, polymer fibers are usually used for data transfer in infotainment systems. Their power spectrum is still sufficient for this purpose. |
Furthermore, glass fibers allow much higher data transfer rates than plastic fibers. These are essential for future applications in the field of active safety. |
Such systems need to transmit the signals to the evaluation unit quickly and without data compression. Therefore, they require very fast data transfer in real time. |
