Cable Description
The HFBR-R/EXXYYY series of
plastic fiber optic cables are
constructed of a single step-index
fiber sheathed in a black poly-
ethylene 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 comply 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.
