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.
