PoF – Power over Fiber: A Novel Approach for Energy Transmission

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Power over Fiber technology is a potential solution for power transmission through fiber-optic links. The PoF main superiorities are simultaneous data and power transmission through optical links and immunity to electromagnetic interference short-circuits and sparks. PoF systems provide galvanic isolation, weight reduction, and resistance to corrosion, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
