Broadcom HFBR-4515Z

Product Overview

The HFBR-R/EXXYYYZ and HFBR-EXXYYYZ series are plastic optical fiber (POF) cables designed for data communication. They are compatible with Broadcom Versatile Link connectors and components, utilizing a 1 mm diameter POF available in standard and high-performance (Extra Low Loss) grades. These cables are suitable for various industrial, telecommunications, and computer-related applications requiring reliable data links, intra-system connections, and isolation from electrical transients.

Features

Compatible with Broadcom Versatile Link Family of connectors and fiber optic components.
1 mm diameter Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) in 2 grades:
- Standard POF with 0.22 dB/m typical attenuation (-40C to 85C).
- High performance Extra Low Loss POF with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation (-40C to 85C).

Applications
