Plastic Optical Fiber, also known as POF, is a type of fiber designed to transmit data using light and facilitate fast, clean, and simple network installations.

It has been used for years in sectors such as automotive and aeronautics, and is increasingly present in homes, accommodations, and small professional environments where the goal is to bring internet to other areas without complicated construction work.

No. Plastic Optical Fiber does not replace the fiber that comes from your operator, but rather complements the installation to extend the connection to other rooms or areas of the home or business.

The operator's FTTH fiber brings internet to the router. The Actelser solution allows you to distribute that connection stably and without losses to the point where you truly need it.

It can be installed in a single room, in several rooms, or even in an entire building, depending on the needs of each case.

Thanks to its flexibility, it can run through existing conduits, through already available ducts, or externally if it is more convenient. It is a very adaptable solution for both homes and hotels, rural houses, offices, and other spaces.

Plastic Optical Fiber stands out for several important advantages:

• Stable transmission without electromagnetic interference.
• Clean, fast, and simple installation without complex construction work.
• Great flexibility to take advantage of existing routes.
• No electrical risk in the cable.
• Ideal for complementing or improving the network in homes and businesses.
• Allows bringing the real router connection to another room.

Yes. Many users can install it themselves with a self-installation kit, as long as they follow the basic assembly steps.

The Actelser solution is designed for simple installation: a converter is connected to the router, the fiber is run to the destination room, and the second converter is connected at the final point.

In addition, the green light on the converter allows visual verification that the connection has been established correctly.

The price depends on the chosen kit, the required cable length, and whether the installation is carried out by the user themselves or by a professional.

As a guide, a basic point-to-point installation can be around €250–300, although the final cost may vary depending on each case.

It's not about choosing one or the other, but about using them intelligently. WiFi is very practical, but its range and stability depend on distance, obstacles, and interference.

Plastic Optical Fiber allows for a stable and real connection to another room, and from there you can connect devices via cable or even place a WiFi access point in a better location.

Yes, perfectly. In fact, one of its most interesting applications is to bring the connection to a final point and then create a better-positioned WiFi network from there.

This way you can combine the stability of the cable with the convenience of wireless connection for mobiles, tablets, laptops, or smart devices.

It is a wired solution, designed to bring real internet from one point to another in a stable, clean, and simple way.

Even so, it can be perfectly complemented with WiFi at the far end if you want to provide wireless coverage to that area.

No. Its lifespan is very long and comparable to that of other common infrastructures in a home, such as electrical, television, or network cabling.

It is designed to offer durability and stability in permanent installations.

It does not increase the speed contracted with your operator. What it does is prevent you from losing performance when bringing the connection to another room.

In other words: it doesn't give you more megabytes than you pay for, but it does help you make better use of the ones you already have.

Wireless connection offers convenience and mobility, but it also depends heavily on distance, obstacles, and interference.

Therefore, in many cases, the best solution is to combine both worlds: a stable, high-fidelity wired base, along with WiFi coverage where necessary.

Plastic Optical Fiber kits include the necessary elements to easily install a connection between the router and another room.

Depending on the kit, they may include cable, converters, accessories, and other necessary installation elements. They are designed for the user to have a complete and ready-to-assemble solution.

The main difference between the kits usually lies in the type and number of converters, the number of available connection points, the presence of switches, and the maximum speed supported by each configuration.

There are kits designed to extend the connection to a single room, others for several areas, and more advanced ones for more complete installations. There are also more economical versions aimed at 100 Mbps.

Wiring the connection provides more stability, fewer losses, lower latency, and more consistent performance than relying solely on WiFi.

It is especially recommended when connecting demanding devices such as computers, smart TVs, consoles, IP cameras, home automation systems, or WiFi access points located far from the main router.

WiFi 6, also known as 802.11ax, is an evolution of previous generations of WiFi that improves the efficiency, capacity, and performance of wireless networks.

It is designed to better manage multiple devices connected simultaneously and offer a more stable and faster experience in demanding environments.

To take advantage of its benefits, routers and devices compatible with this technology are needed.
