Broadcom HFBR-4531Z
Product Overview
The xFBR-45xxZ series of crimpless connectors are an enhanced, snap-together solution for plastic optical fiber, designed for compatibility with Avago Technologies Versatile Link series transmitters and receivers. These connectors eliminate the need for crimping, reducing labor, tool costs, and installation errors. Available in both latching and non-latching styles, with non-latching simplex connectors capable of forming a duplex connector, they are constructed from rugged, flame-retardant ULTEM plastic for industrial and harsh environments. The connectors are offered in black, blue, and grey, aiding in fiber connection differentiation. They are suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial control, automotive networks, proprietary system interconnects, gaming, medical, telecommunications, and datacom. The termination process is straightforward, ideal for both field and factory installations, and can be finished with the optional HFBR-4593Z Polishing Kit for improved coupling performance.

Notes:
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.
2. Retention force of Non-latching connectors is lower at elevated temperature.
