A novel high-speed data transmission system comprising RJ45-connectored transceivers and SC-connectored POF (polymer or plastic optical fiber) cable has been examined, comparing with a glass optical fiber cable system and traditional copper ethernet cables. Polymer Optical Fiber and cables made of, offer high speed data transmission capability, yet very pliable and bendable. Graded-index (GI-) POF and cables appear as good substitutes of both copper wire/cables and glass fiber/cables in short-reach networks. In this paper, we will analyze data of comparison of technologies and demonstrate commercial feasibilities and deployments of RJ45-connectored GI-POF cable system for high speed 5G/6G, high-definition display, monitoring, imaging and other applications.
