AFBR-4526Z Datasheet, PDF (1/4 Pages) AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED – Latching mechanism for increased retention force

AFBR-4526Z, AFBR-452BZ
Plastic optical fiber duplex connector for AFBR-5972xZ
Data Sheet
Description
The AFBR-452xZ duplex connectors are designed for use
with Avago Technologies’ fast Ethernet transceiver AFBR-
5972xZ. The rugged design contains a latching mecha-
nism for an increased retention force. The simple snap-
together concept saves the user labor and tool cost.
The connectors are made of a rugged, flame retardant
plastic which is good for industrial and other harsh envi-
ronments. The AFBR-452xZ duplex connectors are for use
with Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) only.
For termination of POF with AFBR-452xZ, we recommend
to use the polishing kit AFBR-4594Z.

Notes:
1. Storage and operating temperatures refer to the ranges over which the connectors can be used when not subjected to mechanical stress.
Installation temperature refers to the ranges over which connectors may be installed onto the fiber and over which connectors can be connected
and disconnected from the trnasceiver.
2. Typical data at 25°C.
3. CAUTION - The latching mechanism release button should be pressed before attempting to disconnect the fiber. If the connector is pulled out of
the transceiver without pressing the lever, damage will occur.
