Broadcom, HFBR-453xZ, POF, APC Single Mode Simplex Fibre Optic Connector, Plastic Optical 1 mm Fibre Size

Broadcom HFBR-453xZ Series Fibre Optic Connector, 2.22mm Jacket Diameter, Black - HFBR-4532Z

This Fibre optic connector provides a single-channel connection for plastic optical Fibre links, intended for applications requiring an angled physical contact finish and straightforward simplex installation. It is designed to operate within a wide ambient range and to Interface with 1 mm plastic optical Fibre using a polymer-based connector type, suitable for installations where controlled back-reflection and consistent mating are important.

Features and Benefits:

• APC angled polish reduces back-reflection for cleaner signal transmission
  Single-mode plastic optical performance for focused light propagation
  Operates across -40°C to 85°C for broad environmental tolerance
  Simplex configuration simplifies point-to-point link deployments
  Black housing offers discreet appearance and easy identification

Applications

• Suitable for industrial control signal paths in harsh environments
  Ideal for short-reach single-channel data links in instrumentation
  Used with 1 mm POF cabling in machine-to-machine communications
  Can be used for replacement or repair of panel-mounted POF ports
  Appropriate for installations requiring APC polish on plastic Fibre
