HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembly
WHAT IS THIS? The HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembly belongs to the HFBR Versatile Link family - a plastic optical fiber (POF) interconnect system originally developed by Agilent/Avago (now Broadcom) for industrial, automotive, and short-range data links. It uses industry-standard HFBR connectors and 1mm POF for low-cost, easy-to-install optical communication.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW. Designed for industrial data links, factory automation and control, and board, rack, or equipment optical interconnects, the HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembly pairs HFBR-4501Z / HFBR-4511Z simplex connector pair with the cable construction visible in the images: simplex POF cable with color-coded Versatile Link-style housings. This lets an OEM or replacement assembly be matched to the target optical port before production.
HFBR names identify the mating connector family. Unless provenance is documented, describe the finished cable as compatible rather than as an original Broadcom or Avago assembly. The photographed HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembl
TYPICAL USES
- industrial data links
- factory automation and control
- board, rack, or equipment optical interconnects
PERFORMANCE. Optical performance of the HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembly depends on the selected fiber, termination quality, end-face cleanliness, bend control, finished length, and correct seating in the mating port. A passive optical path is useful where electrical isolation and resistance to electromagnetic pickup matter, but the paired transmitter and receiver define the complete link specification.
Reliable installation of the HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assemb
KEY FEATURES
- HFBR-4501Z / HFBR-4511Z simplex connector pair termination for equipment-specific optical connections
- Visible simplex POF cable with color-coded Versatile Link-style housings
- Passive optical path for signal transfer without a conductive data connection
- Options may be discussed for length, jacket, labeling, and protective routing
- Connector-focused design intended for installation and replacement work
APPLICATIONS
- Equipment maintenance - PLC and control equipment
- OEM integration - power electronics isolation links
- System retrofit - medical or laboratory equipment where system qualification is completed
WHY CHOOSE HFBR/POF? Plastic fiber is cheap, flexible, easy to terminate, and immune to RFI/EMI. It is the default physical layer for industrial fieldbus (PROFIBUS, INTERBUS), automotive MOST, and sensor links where glass fiber would be overkill.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is it compatible with original Broadcom/Agilent HFBR devices? A: Yes - our assemblies are built to mate with standard HFBR transceivers and connectors.
Q: What wavelength and data rate? A: Standard HFBR operates at 650nm red light for up to 50 Mbps over 50m on POF. Contact us for your specific link budget.
Q: Can I get custom lengths? A: Yes - cut to length, with your choice of connector variants (latching, crimpless, enhanced).
SUMMARY. The HFBR-4501Z HFBR-4511Z Versatile Link POF Cable Assembly is best specified by connector format, fiber construction, cable or component configuration, length or mounting requirement, and the target equipment. It can support PLC and control equipment, power electronics isolation links, and medical or laboratory equipment where system qualification is completed when the selected version is matched
