HFBR-RXXYYYZ series (POF) HFBR-EXXYYYZ series (POF) plastic optical fiber cable and accessories for Versatile Link family, compatible with Avago Versatile Link family connectors and fiber optic components. 1mm diameter plastic optical fiber (POF) in two grades: low cost standard POF with 0.22 dB/m typical attenuation, or high performance extra low loss POF with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation. Applications for factory automation and plant control industrial data links; board-to-board, rack-to-rack internal system links; telecommunications switching systems; computer-to-peripheral data links, PC bus extension; proprietary LANs; digitized video; medical instruments; reduction of lightning and voltage transient susceptibility; high voltage isolation.
The HFBR-R/EXXYYYZ series are 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber (POF) cables offered in standard and extra‑low‑loss grades. They are compatible with Avago Versatile Link connectors and are used for industrial data links, telecom switching, computer‑peripheral connections, proprietary LANs, digitized video, medical instruments, and applications requiring high voltage isolation.
The document lists mechanical and optical characteristics (attenuation, numerical aperture, core/jacket dimensions, temperature ranges), describes four connector styles (simplex, simplex‑latching, duplex, duplex‑latching), provides step‑by‑step termination instructions, and includes an ordering guide with part numbers for cables, connectors, adapters, and polishing accessories.
