HFBR-EXXYYYZ Series (POF)
Plastic Optical Fiber Cable and Accessories
for Versatile Link
Data Sheet
Cable Description
The HFBR-R/EXXYYYZ 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.
