Products classified under HTS 9001.10.00.75
Plastic Optical Fiber Patch Cable
A short-length plastic optical fiber cable with LC connectors used for high-speed data transmission in home networking setups. It falls under HTS 9001.10.00.75 as it consists of plastic optical fibers bundled into a cable, distinct from glass fiber or electrical cables of heading 8544. These cables transmit light signals for multimedia applications without electrical conductivity.
PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber Cable for Automotive
A durable PMMA-based plastic optical fiber cable for in-vehicle multimedia networks like MOST systems in cars. Classified under HTS 9001.10.00.75 for its plastic composition and role in transmitting light signals for infotainment, excluding electrical cables. It meets automotive standards for vibration resistance and EMI immunity.
Plastic Optical Fiber Bundle for Lighting
A bundle of end-glow plastic optical fibers used to pipe light from LED sources to decorative fixtures in architectural lighting. It qualifies for HTS 9001.10.00.75 as plastic optical fiber bundles designed for light transmission, not electrical or glass types. Common in retail displays and star ceilings.
Multicore Plastic Optical Fiber Cable
A cable containing multiple plastic optical fibers for parallel data transmission in industrial sensors and CCTV systems. Falls under HTS 9001.10.00.75 due to its plastic fiber construction for optical signaling, excluding those with electrical components. Ideal for harsh environments with EMI resistance.
Plastic Optical Fiber Sensor Cable
A rugged plastic optical fiber cable for fiber-optic sensors detecting position, pressure, or vibration in factory automation. Classified in HTS 9001.10.00.75 for plastic bundles transmitting light signals, not as machine parts or electrical sensors. Used in PLC integrations for non-contact sensing.
Side-Emitting Plastic Optical Fiber Cable
Plastic optical fiber cable engineered to emit light along its length for perimeter lighting and signage applications. It meets HTS 9001.10.00.75 criteria as a plastic cable for light transmission, differentiated from decorative plastics by optical properties. Popular in vehicle accents and displays.
Plastic Optical Fiber Duplex Cable
A twin-fiber plastic optical fiber cable with ST connectors for bidirectional Gigabit Ethernet in consumer AV systems. Under HTS 9001.10.00.75 for plastic construction transmitting digital optical signals, not imitations of 8544 electrical cables. Supports up to 1Gbps over 50m.
Industrial Plastic Optical Fiber Bundle
High-temperature resistant plastic optical fiber bundle for connecting sensors in harsh manufacturing environments. Classified HTS 9001.10.00.75 as plastic bundles for optical data transfer, excluded from machine technical uses per chapter notes. Rated for -40°C to 85°C operation.
Plastic Optical Fiber Breakout Cable
A fan-out plastic optical fiber cable transitioning from bundle to individual fibers for rack-mounted AV distribution. Fits HTS 9001.10.00.75 for plastic optical bundles/cables used in signal splitting, not electrical patch cords. Common in data centers for short-haul links.
Home Theater Plastic Optical Fiber Cable
TOSLINK plastic optical fiber cable for digital audio transmission between Blu-ray players and receivers. Under HTS 9001.10.00.75 as consumer plastic optical cables for S/PDIF signals, excluding Toslink imitators with electrical cores. Supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.
Medical Endoscope Plastic Optical Fiber Bundle
Flexible plastic optical fiber bundle for illumination in rigid borescopes and low-cost endoscopes. Classifies in HTS 9001.10.00.75 for coherent plastic fiber bundles transmitting light/images, not medical instrument parts per exclusions. Used in veterinary and industrial inspection.
Plastic Optical Fiber for Robotics
EMI-immune plastic optical fiber cable linking sensors and controllers in collaborative robots (cobots). HTS 9001.10.00.75 applies to plastic bundles for real-time data transfer in automation, not technical machine textiles. Lightweight for dynamic arm mounting.
Decorative Plastic Optical Fiber Side Glow Bundle
Loose bundle of side-glow plastic optical fibers for DIY ceiling starfields and party decorations. Under HTS 9001.10.00.75 as plastic bundles for light piping/distribution, distinct from finished lamps. Cuttable lengths for custom installations.
Plastic Optical Fiber Audio/Video Cable
Most (Media Oriented Systems Transport) plastic optical fiber cable for automotive infotainment backbone networks. HTS 9001.10.00.75 covers this plastic ring topology cable carrying audio/video/data, separate from vehicle wiring harnesses. Up to 150Mbps bandwidth.
