Plastic Fiber Connector Styles
Connector Description
Four connector styles are available
for termination of plastic optical
fiber: simplex, simplex latching,
duplex and duplex latching. All
connectors provide a snap-in
action when mated to Versatile
Link components. Simplex
connectors are color coded to
facilitate identification of trans-
mitter and receiver connections.
Duplex connectors are keyed so
that proper orientation is ensured
during insertion. If the POF cable/
connector will be used at extreme
operating temperatures or
experience frequent and wide
temperature cycling effects, the
cable/connector attachment can
be strengthened with an RTV
adhesive (see Plastic Connector-
ing Instructions for more detail).
The connectors are made of a
flame retardant VALOX UL94 V-0
material (UL file # E121562).
SIMPLEX CONNECTOR STYLES
HFBR-4501Z/4511Z – Simplex
, HFBR-4525Z
HFBR-4503Z/4513Z – Simplex Latching
HFBR-4525Z
The simplex latching connector is
designed for rugged applications
requiring a greater retention force
— 80 Newtons ( 18 lb.) — than
provided by a simplex nonlatching
connector. When inserting the
simplex latching connector into a
module, the connector latch
mechanism should be aligned with
the top surface of the horizontal
modules, or with the tall vertical
side of the vertical modules.
Misalignment of an inserted
latching connector into either
module will not result in a positive
latch. The connector is released
by depressing the rear section of
the connector lever, and then
pulling the connector assembly
away from the module housing.
The simplex latching connector is
available in gray (HFBR-4503Z) or
blue (HFBR-4513Z).
DUPLEX CONNECTOR STYLES
HFBR-4506Z – Duplex
latching connector is available in
parchment, off-white (HFBR-
4506Z).
HFBR-4516Z – Duplex Latching
HFBR-4526Z
The duplex latching connector is
designed for rugged applications
requiring greater retention force
than the nonlatching duplex con-
nector. When inserting the duplex
latching connector into a module,
the connector latch mechanism
should be aligned with the top
surface of the dual combination of
horizontal or vertical Versatile Link
components. The duplex latching
connector is available in gray
(HFBR-4516Z).

Feedthrough/Splice
HFBR-4505Z/4515Z Bulkhead Adapter
The simplex connector provides a
quick and stable connection for
applications that require a
component-to-connector retention
force of 8 Newtons (1.8 lb.).
These connectors are available in
gray (HFBR-4501Z) or blue
(HFBR-4511Z).
HFBR-4526Z
Duplex connectors provide con-
venient duplex cable termination
and are keyed to prevent incorrect
insertion into duplex configured
modules. The duplex connector is
compatible with dual combina-
tions of horizontal or vertical
Versatile Link components (e.g.,
two horizontal transmitters, two
vertical receivers, a horizontal
transmitter with a horizontal
receiver, etc.). The duplex non-
The HFBR-4505Z/4515Z adapter
mates two simplex connectors for
panel/bulkhead feedthrough of
HFBR-4501Z/4511Z terminated
plastic fiber cable. Maximum panel
thickness is 4.1 mm (0.16 inch).
This adapter can serve as a cable
in-line splice using two simplex
connectors. The adapters are
available in gray (HFBR-4505Z)
and blue (HFBR-4515Z). This
adapter is not compatible with POF
duplex, POF simplex latching, or
HCS connectors.
