BROADCOM HFBR-4505Z Fibre Optic Bulkhead Feedthrough Connector, Grey

The BROADCOM HFBR-4505Z is a grey plastic bulkhead feed-through connector designed for secure and reliable fibre optic connections in panel applications. It provides a simple snap-in action when mated with compatible Versatile Link components, ensuring a quick and robust interface without the need for complex tools.

Engineered for clarity in system setup, simplex connectors are colour-coded to facilitate easy identification of transmitter and receiver connections. For duplex applications, the connectors are keyed to guarantee proper orientation during insertion, preventing misalignment and potential damage to the fibre ends. This design is ideal for maintaining signal integrity in complex installations.

Constructed from a durable, flame-retardant VALOX UL94V-0 plastic material, this connector meets stringent safety standards for use in electronic and industrial environments. Its primary function is to mate two simplex connectors, enabling a secure feed-through connection for HFBR-4501Z/4511Z terminated plastic fibre cables across a panel or bulkhead with a maximum thickness of 4.1mm. Additionally, this versatile component can serve as an in-line cable splice when used with two simplex connectors.

For enhanced reliability in demanding conditions, if the POF cable and connector assembly will be subjected to extreme operating temperatures or frequent thermal cycling, the attachment point can be reinforced with an RTV adhesive. It is important to note that this connector is specifically compatible with the Avago Versatile Link family and is not designed for use with POF duplex, POF simplex latching, or HCS connectors.

With its compact design and robust construction, the HFBR-4505Z is a trusted solution for creating reliable optical links in a wide array of professional and industrial settings, ensuring consistent performance where it matters most.
