Optics Letters, 46(21), 5348–5351.0146-9592https://hdl.handle.net/10016/36103We evaluate the impact of Power-over-Fiber (PoF) technology on the fronthaul of a 5G-NR network with an Analog-Radio-over-Fiber at 25.5 GHz on a 10 km long multicore fiber. The study in this Letter analyzes the bit error rate (BER) performance for different levels of energy transmitted by the PoF system. 133 mW of maximum optical power at reception is demonstrated showing negligible BER impact or data transmission BER improvement in a dedicated and shared scenario.4eng© 2021 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing AgreementPower-over-Fiber (PoF)Optical powerresearch articleElectrónicahttps://doi.org/10.1364/OL.439105open access5348215351Optics Letters46AR/0000029545
