Nexans e-service uses Secure Socket Layering (SSL) to encrypt and protect your information when registering and then during your session. Therefore you need to enable the SSL (2.0 and/or 3.0) options on your browser.

For Internet Explorer, begin by opening your browser, select Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Scroll to the Security section. There should be a check mark next to SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. If there isn't one, select one or both options.

For Navigator/Communicator 5.0 and older, begin by opening your browser, select Communicator > Tools > Security Information > Navigator. There should be a check mark next to SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0. If not, simply select one or both options.

For Navigator/Communicator 6.0 and up, begin by opening your browser, select Edit > Preferences. Scroll to the Privacy & Security > SSL section. There should be a check mark next to Enable SSL verion 2 or Enable SSL verion 3. If not, simply select one or both options.

If you do not see SSL 2.0 and/or 3.0 as an option, you'll need to upgrade to a newer browser. Browsers are free and can be downloaded over the Internet. Go to our What software do I need page for more information.

If the printing of our pages is not corresponding to your expectations, please check that the parameters of your browser are correctly set.

We recommend to use a margin of 10mm on the left and 6mm on the right for A4 printing.

These parameters can be modified by clicking on page set-up in the file menu of your browser.

POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) has been developed by DuPont in the late 1960s as a medium for illumination. After 30 or so years, a new interest has emerged in short link cabling technologies based on multimode POF for multimedia and data communications.Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is generally the polymer material for step index plastic optical fibers (SI-POF). Perfluorinated polymer (e.g. CYTOP) is mainly used in graded index plastic optical fibers (GI-POF). The attenuation of fluorinated polymers is lower than PMMA allowing higher performances.

POF offers a viable alternative to copper and glass solutions. At data transmission rates of 100 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s, POF can operate faster than usual copper wire and is not sensible to electromagnetic (EM) perturbation. The flexibility and the large diameter of POF, typically 200 mm to 1mm, presents a great advantage for plastic compared to glass. The fragile and brittle nature of glass optical fibers, combined with core diameters from 8 to 62,5 mm, makes it more difficult and costly to install and align than POF.
