Plastic fiber optic is an optical fiber that uses high-purity quartz glass as the core. It uses plastic with a slightly lower refractive index than quartz as the cladding.

Because the cladding material, plastic clad fiber is softer than quartz fiber. It is not easy to break and can tolerate small radius bending or return bending.
Plastic clad fiber does not generate radiation. It is also not affected by electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference. It is suitable for electrically noisy environments.
