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.

Termination Guide for AFBR-452xZ

Step-by-Step Plastic Cable Connectoring Instructions

The following step-by-step guide describes how to termi-

nate plastic fiber optic cable. It is ideal for both field and

factory installations. Connectors can be easily installed on

cable ends with standard tools such as wire strippers and

cutters.

Finishing the cable is accomplished with the Avago Tech-

nologies AFBR-4594Z Polishing Kit, consisting of a three

hole polishing fixture, 600 grit abrasive paper and 3 mm

pink lapping film. The connector can be used immediately

after polishing.

The following materials are needed for plastic fiber termi-

nation:

1. Plastic optical fiber cable (Example: HFBR-EUD500Z)

2. Wire cutters or scissors

3. 16 gauge wire stripper (Example: Ideal Stripmaster

type 45-092)

4. AFBR-4594Z polishing kit

5. Duplex connectors AFBR-452xZ

Step 2: Putting on the Connector

Place the connector on each end of the fiber, and slide the

connector down until the fiber jacket stops it. The fiber

should protrude no less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in) from the

end of the connector.

Manually press connectors together. The connectors are

secured when top halves latch into the ferrule halves.

Step 1: Stripping the Fiber

The zip cord structure of the duplex cable permits easy

separation of the channels. The channels should be sepa-

rated a minimum of 100 mm (4 in) to a maximum of 150

mm (6 in) back from the ends to permit connectoring, pol-

ishing and cable end flexibility.

After cutting the cable to the desired length, strip off ap-

proximately 7 mm (0.3 in) of the outer jacket with the 16

gauge wire strippers.

The separated duplex cable should be stripped to roughly

equal lengths on each cable end.

During insertion of the fiber into the connector, make sure

that the orientation of the connector is correct (see next

figure). So you make sure that the optical channels are

connected correctly (Tx1 --> Rx2; Tx2 --> Rx1).
