AFBR-HUXYYYZ Plastic Optical Fiber Cable Data Sheet Cable description Features The AFBR-HUXYYYZ series of plastic fiber optic cables Compatible with Avago Versatile Link Family of are constructed of a single step-index fiber sheathed in a connectors and fiber optic components black polyethylene jacket. The duplex fiber consists of two 1 mm diameter Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) in 1 grade simplex fibers joined with a zipcord web. with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation (-40C to +85C) Cables comply with UL VW-1 flame retardant specification Halogen-free (UL file E116331 / Style 5538). High performance extra low loss POF with 0.19dB/m Cables are available in unconnectorized options. Refer to typical attenuation (-40C to +85C) the Ordering Guide for part number information.

Installation temperature is the range over which the cable can be bent and pulled without damage. Below -20C the cable becomes brittle and should not be subjected to mechanical stress. 2. Short term: 30mins. 3. Fail criteria for tensile force test: elongation higher than 5% of original length. 4. Bend angle is 90. Bend radius is the radius of the mandrel around which the cable is bent. 5. Fail criteria for bend radius test: increase in attenuation higher than 0.5dB. 6. Long term: 24hours. 7. Bend angle is 90. Bend radius is the radius of the mandrel around which the cable is bent. 8. Fail criteria for flexing test: increase in attenuation higher than 0.5dB. 9. Fiber length longer than 2 meters. 10. Without connectors 11. Propagation delay constant is the reciprocal of the group velocity for propagation delay of optical power. Group velocity is v=c/n, where c is the 8 velocity of light in free space (3x10 m/s) and n is the effective core index of refraction. 12. Typical data measured at 25C. 2
