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.

Plastic Fiber Connector Styles Connector Description Four connector styles are available for termination of plastic optical fiber: simplex, simplex latching, duplex and duplex latching. All connectors provide a snap-in action when mated to Versatile Link components. Simplex connectors are color coded to facilitate identification of transmitter and receiver connections. Duplex connectors are keyed so that proper orientation is ensured during insertion.

Step-by-Step Plastic Cable Connectoring Instructions The following step-by-step guide describes how to terminate plastic fiber optic cable. It is ideal for both field and factory installation. Connectors can be easily installed on cable ends with wire strippers, cutters and a crimping tool. Finishing the cable is accomplished with the Avago HFBR-4593Z Polishing Kit, consisting of a Polishing Fixture, 600 grit abrasive paper and 3 µm pink lapping film (3M Company, OC3-14).

dot is no longer visible. Typically, the polishing fixture can be used 10 times; 10 duplex connectors or 20 simplex connectors, two at a time. Place the 600 grit abrasive paper on a flat smooth surface, pressing down on the connector, polish the fiber and the connector using a figure eight pattern of strokes until the connector is flush with the bottom of the polishing fixture. Wipe the connector and fixture with a clean cloth or tissue.
