Broadcom HFBR-4505Z POF to POF Fibre Optic Adapter, 2.8dB Insertion Loss

Broadcom HFBR-R/EXXYYYZ Series Fibre Optic Adapter, 2.8dB Insertion Loss, 1mm Fibre Size - HFBR-4505Z

This Fibre optic adapter connects POF links, allowing straightforward inline coupling of polymer optical Fibres in Compact assemblies. It is intended for use where small, enclosed interconnections are required and provides a simple Interface between two POF connectors in confined installations.

Features and Benefits:

• Low optical attenuation supports modest signal budgets with 2.8 dB insertion loss
  Accepts 1 mm core POF to match common polymer fibres
  Accommodates cable build-up to 2.27 mm for thicker sheathed leads
  POF-to-POF connector Interface enables direct mating of identical plugs
  Neutral grey housing minimises Visual contrast in equipment racks

Applications

• Suitable for short-range data links in consumer electronics
  Used with sensor networks employing polymer optical Fibre
  Ideal for prototype boards requiring Compact Fibre coupling
  Can be used for classroom or training Fibre demonstrations
  Used for simple patching inside small enclosures

What connector types does it join?

It links two polymer optical Fibre connectors using matching POF interfaces.

Which Fibre diameter is supported for insertion?

The internal bore is designed for 1 mm core polymer optical fibre.

How thick can an incoming cable be to fit this adapter?

Cables with an overall diameter up to 2.27 mm will be accepted.

What colour is the unit and how might that affect installations?

The housing is grey, which reduces Visual contrast when mounted in neutral-toned equipment.

What are the external size constraints for panel or enclosure fitting?

The component measures 30 mm in depth, 9.1 mm in width and 11 mm in height for spatial planning.
