HFBR-4505Z Avago HFBR Versatile Link POF Connector
HFBR-4505Z HFBR-4515Z is a Avago / Broadcom HFBR-compatible plastic fiber connector for quick, field-terminatable optical data links.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the HFBR-4505Z HFBR-4515Z provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Operating temperature range: -45C ~85C
- Connector/interface: HFBR-4503z HFBR-4513z
- Standard length: 180~200dB/km
- Certified to ISO9001 ,ROHS
- Housing/jacket color: Black /Blue
- Terminates standard 1 mm core / 2.2 mm POF cable
- Low-cost, rugged POF interface for industrial and consumer links
Typical Applications
The HFBR-4505Z HFBR-4515Z is commonly used for connections to HFBR optical transmitters/receivers in equipment, and field-terminatable 1 mm POF patch and jumper cables. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is polarity managed? A: The connector is keyed so TX and RX cannot be swapped incorrectly, simplifying installation.
Q: Is field termination possible? A: Yes — HFBR POF connectors are intended for simple field termination using the specified cutting and crimping tools, without a fusion splicer.
Q: What cable does it accept? A: It is designed for the standard 1 mm PMMA core, 2.2 mm OD plastic optical fiber used in Versatile Link systems.
Q: What is an HFBR connector? A: HFBR/Versatile Link is the common snap-in connector system for 1 mm plastic optical fiber, used with Avago/Broadcom HFBR optical modules in industrial and consumer links.
