HFBR-4516 Duplex Plastic Fiber Optic Connector (4516 HFBR- 4516Z Duplex OR POF Connector)

Compatible with Agilent Versatile Link Family of Connectors and Fiber Optic Components 1 mm 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

The HFBR-R/EXXYYY series of plastic fiber optic cables are constructed of a single step-index fiber sheathed in a black polyethylene jacket. The duplex fiber consists of two simplex fibers joined with a zipcord web. Standard attenuation and extra low loss POF cables are identical except for attenuation specifications. Polyethylene jackets on all plastic fiber cables comply with UL VW-1 flame retardant specification (UL file # E89328). Cables are available in unconnectored or connectored options. Refer to the Ordering Guide for part number information.

Plastic optical fibers

Plastic fiber optic cable or POF or polymer optic fiber is a type of optical fibers. The difference between plastic fibers and glass optical fibers is that they are used blindly.

which are used in the plastic blind plastic type and the glass blind glass type, which have different diameters. Plastic optical fibers are hundreds of times larger than glass blind optical fibers in terms of core diameter. Plastic optical fibers work the same as glass optical fibers. Plastic is used for data transmission and lighting.

Plastic fiber optic connector:

Plastic cables have their own special connectors due to the difference in the size and diameter of their cores. Generally, the common specifications between plastic connectors are as follows.

This connector consists of two plastic rivets and has a thermal crimp for riveting the plastic cable
This connector provides a quick connection when paired with Versatile Link components.
Duplex connectors are arranged to ensure correct orientation when entering the cable
In the case of using plastic cable and its connecting connectors, if they are exposed to extreme operating temperatures, the connection of the cable can be reinforced with an RTV adhesive.
The connector is made of VALOX UL94V-0 flame retardant material.
Plastic fiber connector 4516 (POF Connector 4516Z)

Plastic optical fiber connector 4516 is in the category of duplex plastic optical fiber connectors and it is in the category of non-latching connectors, i.e. it is without lock and simple. The color of this part of the connector is white. Compatible with Link multifunction receivers and receivers.

This connector is designed to use 1 mm plastic optical fiber (POF) with a maximum coverage of 2.2 mm.

The advantages of the HFBR-4516 plastic connector include anti-electromagnetic interference and anti-vibration electromagnetic radiation and ensuring that in any case the rate of bit error transmission is zero at high and low temperatures (-55 to 85 degrees Celsius), easy installation and no need for repair. and maintenance noted
