Bus systems with physical layers based on POF (plastic optical Fibre) have especially in automotive applications many advantages compared to their electrical counterparts as light cables, high data rate at low cost, immunity to EMI noise and increased transmission security, no crosstalk between fibres, complete electrical isolation, no ground loops. In contrast to silica fibre technology, the handling / connectorisation is easy and the system cost is low when using POF in combination with suitable transceivers. Siemens and now Infineon Technologies Fiber Optics Group started many years ago to realise plastic fibre optical components. The standard components for up to 5 MBps have extensively been used in trains and different industrial applications. Currently, optical transceivers are under development and preproduction for two different, new optical networks in cars (MOST-media oriented systems tranport - and byteflight system). This paper overviews the state of art and future developments.
