Fibre optic adapter cable DELOCK 90999 multi-mode POF 2 m black/grey

The DeLOCK HFBR 4503-4513Z plastic optical fibre (POF) cable is a 2 m duplex connection cable with HFBR-style simplex male connectors at each end. Designed for use with compatible Avago/Broadcom/Agilent transmitters and receivers, it provides a multimode POF core for short-range, interference-resistant signal transmission. The cable is supplied with dust protection caps and comes in a two-tone finish (grey and blue connectors with a black/grey jacket).

Advantages

This multimode POF cable offers low insertion loss (under 2.0 dB) and simple HFBR simplex connector mating for quick, reliable links between POF-compatible devices. The 1 mm plastic fibre core is flexible and suited to typical short-distance data, audio or sensor connections. Dust caps protect the connectors when not in use.

Suitable for

• Short-range data transmission between Avago / Broadcom / Agilent HFBR-compatible transceivers
• Audio links, consumer electronics and in-car infotainment requiring POF connections
• Industrial sensors and control systems using plastic optical fibre
• Laboratory or prototype setups where simple, low-cost optical connections are needed

When it may not be suitable

This POF cable is intended for short-distance, multimode plastic fibre applications. It is not suitable for long-haul optical networks, single-mode fibre applications, or environments requiring high-temperature or extreme mechanical stress resistance. It also requires devices with HFBR-style connectors or compatible adapters to mate correctly.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Plastic optical fibre (POF), multimode
• Core diameter: 1 mm
• Connector types: Simplex male HFBR on both ends (one grey, one blue)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Insertion loss: < 2.0 dB
• Includes dust protection caps

How to use

Remove the dust caps from both HFBR connectors and insert each simplex male connector into the corresponding HFBR receptacle on your transmitter and receiver. Ensure correct alignment of the connector colours if required by your devices (grey and blue). Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. Replace dust caps when the cable is disconnected to protect the fibre end faces.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your devices support HFBR-style POF connectors and are compatible with multimode POF (1 mm core)
• Confirm that a 2 m cable length suits your installation requirements
• Assess environmental conditions (temperature, mechanical stress) to verify POF suitability

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections between HFBR-compatible transceivers, avoid tight bending radii, and keep dust caps on when not connected to maintain low insertion loss and reliable signal performance.
