Summary:

In late 1987 - early 1988 a fiber optic automobile Local Area Network (LAN) was designed and constructed. The project was a partnership of three companies:The local area network, designed to demonstrate the viability of plastic optical fiber LAN technology in a consumer item (id est an automobile) provided advantages of higher reliability and robustness, easier maintainability, EMC, reduction of EMI, expandability, size and weight reduction and, potentially, cost savings [1] [2]. This paper discusses the POF and LAN performance, some of the problems encountered in the LAN construction and their solutions. The demonstration vehicle - "Opto 1" - clearly shows the viability of a plastic optical fiber based network for use in controlling an automobile
