The HFBR-R/EXXYYYZ and HFBR-EXXYYYZ series of plastic optical fiber (POF) cables are designed for reliable data transmission in various industrial and telecommunications environments. These cables are compatible with Broadcom Versatile Link connectors and components, offering a 1 mm diameter POF in two grades: Standard POF with 0.22 dB/m typical attenuation and High Performance Extra Low Loss POF with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation. Both grades operate within a temperature range of -40C to 85C.
