Installation temperature is the range over which the cable can be bent and pulled without damage. Below -20°C the cable becomes brittle and should not be subjected to mechanical stress. 2. Short Term Tensile Force is for less than 30 minutes. 3. Short Term Bend Radius is for less than 1 hour nonoperating. 4. 90° bend on 25 mm radius mandrel. Bend radius is the radius of the mandrel around which the cable is bent. 5. Typical data are at 25°C. 6. 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 velocity of light in free space (3xl08 m/s) and n is the effective core index of refraction. 7. Note that α rises at the rate of about 0.0067 dB/°C, where the thermal rise refers to the LED temperature changes above 25°C. Please refer to R Figure 1 which shows the typical plastic optical fiber attenuation versus wavelength at 25°C. 2

Plastic Fiber Connector Styles DUPLEX CONNECTOR STYLES Connector Description HFBR-4506 – Duplex Four connector styles are available for termination of plastic optical fiber: simplex, simplex latching, duplex and duplex HFBR-4526 latching. All connectors provide a snap-in action when mated to Versatile Link components. Simplex connectors are color coded to facilitate identification of transmitter and receiver connections. Duplex connectors are keyed so that proper orientation is ensured during insertion. If Duplex connectors provide convenient duplex cable the POF cable/connector will be used at extreme operat- termination and are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion ing temperatures or experience frequent and wide tem- into duplex configured modules.

SIMPLEX CONNECTOR STYLES HFBR-4516 – Duplex Latching HFBR-4501/4511 – Simplex , HFBR-4525 DUPLEX CRIMP RING HFBR-4526 The simplex connector provides a quick and stable connec- tion for applications that require a component-to-connec- tor retention force of 8 Newtons (1.8 lb.). These connectors are available in gray (HFBR-4501) or blue (HFBR-4511). The duplex latching connector is designed for rugged HFBR-4503/4513 – Simplex Latching applications requiring greater retention force than the nonlatching duplex connector. When inserting the duplex latching connector into a module, the connector latch HFBR-4525 mechanism should be aligned with the top surface of the dual combination of horizontal or vertical Versatile Link components. The duplex latching connector is available in gray (HFBR-4516). The simplex latching connector is designed for rugged applications requiring a greater retention force — 80 New- Feedthrough/Splice tons ( 18 lb.) — than provided by a simplex nonlatching HFBR-4505/4515 Bulkhead Adapter connector. When inserting the simplex latching connector into a module, the connector latch mechanism should be aligned with the top surface of the horizontal modules, or with the tall vertical side of the vertical modules. Mis- alignment of an inserted latching connector into either module will not result in a positive latch.

Finishing the cable is accomplished with the Avago HFBR-4593 Polishing Kit, consisting of a Polishing Fixture, 600 grit abrasive paper and 3 µm pink lapping film (3M Company, OC3-14). The connector can be used immedi- ately after polishing. Materials needed for plastic fiber termination are: 1.

After cutting the cable to the desired length, strip off approximately 7 mm (0.3 in.) of the outer jacket with the 16 gauge wire strippers. Excess webbing on the duplex cable may have to be trimmed to allow the simplex or simplex latching connector to slide over the cable. 5

Step 4 Place the flush connector and polishing fixture on the dull side of the 3 µm pink lapping film and continue to polish the fiber and connector for approximately 25 strokes. The fiber end should be flat, smooth and clean. Step 3 This cable is now ready for use.

Typically, the polishing fixture can HFBR-4593 Polishing Kit be used 10 times; 10 duplex connectors or 20 simplex con­ nectors, two at a time. Place the 600 grit abrasive paper on a flat smooth surface, pressing down on the connector, polish the fiber and the connector using a figure eight pattern of strokes until the connector is flush with the bottom of the polishing fixture. Wipe the connector and fixture with a clean cloth or tissue. 6
