HFBR-4531Z/4532Z/4533Z/4535Z

Crimpless Connectors for Plastic Optical Fiber and Versatile Link

Data Sheet

Description

The HFBR-453xZ series connectors are an enhanced ver-

sion of the HFBR-4501Z and HFBR-4503Z low-cost con-

nectors for plastic optical fiber, which are compatible

with Avago Technologies’ versatile link series transmit-

ters and receivers. The innovative design uses a simple,

snap-together concept which eliminates the need for

crimping. This connector not only saves the user labor

and tool cost, but reduces the yield loss due to installa-

tion error.

The HFBR-453xZ series connectors are available in two

styles: latching and non-latching. For a duplex con-

nector, two non-latching simplex connectors can be

snapped together. The connectors are made of a rug-

ged, flame retardant plastic which is good for industrial

and other harsh environments. The HFBR-453xZ series

connectors are for use with Plastic Optical Fiber only.

The HFBR-453xZ Series of connectors are available in

three colors; black, blue and grey. The ability to select

colors to match Transmitters and Receivers makes it

easier for the User to differentiate between fiber con-

nections especially when there are a large number.
