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 fber, 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, fame 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 diferentiate between fber con - nections especially when there are a large number. features ? requires no crimp ring or crimping tool ? durable ultem? plastic material (ul file #e121562) ? same low cost as hfbr-4501z/4503z series connec - tors ? excellent retention force ? symmetry in nonlatching connector gives simplex/ duplex functionality with the same part applications these connectors can be used for any application in which plastic optical fber is used including: ? industrial control and voltage isolation ? automotive networks ? proprietary system interconnects ? gaming equipment ? medical equipment ? telecommunications ? datacommunications ultem? is a registered trademark of the general electric corporation.
2 step 2: putting on the connector place the connector on each end of the fber, and slide the connector down until the fber jacket stops it. the fber should protrude no less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in) from the end of the connector. termination guide step-by-step plastic cable connectoring instructions the following step-by-step guide describes how to terminate plastic fber optic cable. it is ideal for both feld and factory installations. connectors can be easily installed on cable ends with standard tools such as wire strippers and cutters. finishing the cable is accomplished with the avago technologies hfbr-4593z polishing kit, consisting of a polishing fxture, 600 grit abrasive paper and 3 mm pink lapping flm (3m company, oc3-14). the connector can be used immediately after polishing. the following materials are needed for plastic fber ter - mination: 1. plastic optical fber cable (example: hfbr-rud500z) 2. wire cutters or scissors 3. 16 gauge wire stripper (example: ideal stripmaster type 45-092) 4. hfbr-4593z polishing kit (optional) 5. crimpless connectors step 1: stripping the fiber the zip cord structure of the duplex cable permits easy separation of the channels. the channels should be separated a minimum of 100 mm (4 in) to a maximum of 150 mm (6 in) back from the ends to permit connec - toring, polishing and cable end fexibility. after cutting the cable to the desired length, strip of approximately 7 mm (0.3 in) of the outer jacket with the 16 gauge wire strippers. when using the duplex connector arrangement, the separated duplex cable should be stripped to roughly equal lengths on each cable end. for the non-latching version (HFBR-4531Z), the same connector is used for simplex and duplex arrangement. no crimping is necessary. the top half of the connector will snap into the ferrule half to secure the fber. to install simplex connectors fip the top half of the con - nector over and snap it into the ferrule half (with your fngers). when the top half latches inside the body of the ferrule half, proper connector-to-cable attachment is achieved. for duplex connector installation place one connector on top of the other, so that the top half of each connec - tor is over the ferrule half of the opposite connector. manually press connectors together in the center of the arrangement. then latch by pressing on the sides of each connector. as with the simplex version, connec - tors are secured when top halves latch into the ferrule halves.
3 note: the four dots on the bottom of the polishing fxture are wear indicators. replace the polishing fxture when any dot is no longer visible. press the polishing tool down on the 600 grit abrasive paper. polish the fber using a fgure eight pattern until the connector is fush with the bottom of the polish - ing fxture. wipe the connector and fxture with a clean cloth or tissue. step 4: finishing place the fush connector and polishing fxture on the dull side of the 3 m pink lapping flm and continue to polish the fber in the same fgure eight pattern for approximately 25 strokes. the fber end should be fat, smooth and clean. hfbr-4593z polishing kit note: use of the pink lapping film fine polishing step results in approximately 2 db improvement in coupling performance of either a transmitter-receiver link or a bulk - head/splice over a 600 grit polish alone. this fne polish is comparable to the avago technologies factory polish. the fne polishing step may be omitted for short link lengths. step 3: trimming and polishing any fber in excess of 1.5 mm (0.06 in) protruding from the connector end should be cut of with wire cutters or scissors. insert the connector fully into the polishing fxture with the trimmed fber protruding from the bottom of the fxture. this plastic polishing fxture can be used to polish two simplex connectors simultaneously or one duplex connector.
