Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). Very common and essentially the standard in non-telco/non-IT use of fiber data networks (process control, vehicles, etc). I’ve seen studies of using them for gigabit or better computer networking, but I don’t think it is common yet.
What people mostly mean here is multimode vs single mode glass fiber, though.
