HFBR Avago Versatile Link POF Connector
HFBR is a Avago / Broadcom HFBR-style POF connector that terminates 1 mm plastic optical fiber for Versatile Link industrial and consumer optical links.
Manufactured for production use rather than as a one-off sample, the HFBR is built to a stable fiber specification so orders can be repeated with consistent dimensions and performance.
Key Characteristics
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Certified to ISO9001,RoHS
- Housing/jacket color: Black
- PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) core for high light transmission and low-cost optical links
- Attenuation rated at ≤0.25 over the operating wavelength
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- Mates to HFBR-xxxx transmitter and receiver modules
- Low-cost, rugged POF interface for industrial and consumer links
Typical Applications
The HFBR is commonly used for connections to HFBR optical transmitters/receivers in equipment, industrial control and consumer POF data links, 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: 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.
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.
