Plastic optical fiber connector Broadcom HFBR-4535Z latching non latching styles duplex configurations
Product Overview
The xFBR-45xxZ series connectors are an enhanced, crimpless solution for plastic optical fiber, designed for compatibility with Avago Technologies Versatile Link series transmitters and receivers. These connectors offer a simple, snap-together installation that eliminates the need for crimping, thereby reducing labor costs, tool expenses, and installation-related yield loss. Available in both latching and non-latching styles, they can be combined to create duplex configurations. Constructed from rugged, flame-retardant plastic, these connectors are suitable for industrial and harsh environments. The series is available in black, blue, and grey, facilitating easy differentiation of fiber connections in complex setups. They are exclusively for use with Plastic Optical Fiber.

| Note 1: Storage and operating temperatures refer to the ranges over which the connectors can be used when not subjected to mechanical stress. Installation temperature refers to the ranges over which connectors may be installed onto the fiber and over which connectors can be connected and disconnected from the transmitter and receiver modules. | ||||||||
| Note 2: Retention force of Non-latching connectors is lower at elevated temperature. | ||||||||
| Note 3: Use of the pink lapping film fine polishing step results in approximately 2 dB improvement in coupling performance. This fine polish is comparable to the Avago Technologies factory polish. The fine polishing step may be omitted for short link lengths. | ||||||||
