Termination of the optical cable possible in a few minutes on-site. (Economically priced connectors and tools)

Easy-to-handle cable/cord (of large diameter and without the brittleness of conventional glass-cladding cables, thanks to polymer cladding)

Broadband (Giga-order transmission possible over several hundred meters of cable), and low loss (minimum 5 dB/km at 0.8µm band)

Low-cost LED light sources could be applicable, permitting reduction in system cost.

High NA and large core of H-PCF provides.Good coupling efficiency with light source.
