Broadcom Simplex Single Mode Fibre Optic Cable, 1mm, Black, 500m / 451039

HFBR-C/R/EXXYYYZ Series POF Plastic Fibre Optic Cables. The HFBR-C/R/EXXYYYZ series is made up from plastic fibre optic cables that are constructed from a single step index fibre sheathes in a polyethylene jacket. The duplex fibre is comprised of two simplex fibres that are joined with a ziphood web. Features and Benefits. Compatible with Avago Versatile Link Family of connectors and other fibre optic components. 1 mm diameter Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) in 3 grades: - Commercial POF with 0.22dB/m typical attenuation (0°C to 70°C) - Standard POF with 0.22 dB/m typical attenuation (-40°C to 85°C) - High performance Extra Low Loss POF with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation (-40°C to 85°C). Standard (Type="R") and Extra Low Loss (Type="E") cables comply with UL VW-1 flame retardant specification (UL file # E89328) except for Commercial (Type="C"). Typical Applications. Industrial data links for factory automation and plant control Intra-system links, board to board and rack to rack Telecommunication switching systems Propriety LANs Digitalised video Medical instruments High voltage isolation Reduction of lighting and voltage transient susceptibility. How does Fibre Optic cable work?. Fibre optic cable works through carrying communication signals using pulses of light generated by small lasers orlight-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands, similar in size to a human hair. The centre of each strand is called the core, this core is the pathway for light to travel. The core is surrounded by a layer of glass that reflects light inward to avoid loss of signal and allows the light to pass through bends in the cable.
