Data Sheet
Cable Description
The HFBR-R/EXXYYY series of plastic fiber optic cables
are constructed of a single step-index fiber sheathed
in a black poly­ethy­lene jacket. The duplex fiber consists
of two simplex fibers joined with a zipcord web.
Standard attenuation and extra low loss POF cables are
identical except for attenuation specifications.
Polyethylene jackets on all plastic fiber cables com-
ply with UL VW-1 flame retardant specification (UL file
# E89328).
Cables are available in unconnectored or connectored
options. Refer to the Ordering Guide for part number
information.
