DELOCK muovi-POF-kuituoptinen kaapeli HFBR 4532‑4532Z simplex ST‑ST 2 m

DELOCK Plastic POF Fiber Optic Cable HFBR 4532‑4532Z Simplex ST‑to‑ST 2m is a 2 metre plastic optical fibre (POF) simplex cable equipped with HFBR 4532 and 4532Z style connectors and ST (bayonet) interface housings on both ends. The cable uses a 1 mm core polymer optical fibre designed for short-range multimedia, home network and AV interconnect applications. It is compatible with Avago/Broadcom (formerly Agilent) transmitters and receivers and provides low-interference, galvanically isolated data links for environments where ease of handling and mechanical flexibility are important.

Advantages

The POF construction offers high flexibility, simple handling and resistance to bending compared with glass fibres, making installation and routing easier in confined spaces. With a 1 mm core and multi‑mode design the cable supports stable short-distance optical transmission with insertion loss below 2.4 dB. ST‑style bayonet housings and HFBR connector terminations ensure compatibility with common Avago/Broadcom optical modules and include dust caps to protect connector end faces during storage and transport.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m POF simplex cable is intended for short-range links and is not suitable for long-distance or backbone fiber runs where glass multimode or singlemode fibre is required. It also does not support the higher bandwidth and lower attenuation characteristics of glass fibre over long distances, so it may not be appropriate for high-data-rate trunking or long-haul optical networks.

Key specifications

How to use

Before connecting, remove the dust protection caps from the HFBR connectors. Align the ST bayonet housing with the mating ST receptacle, insert and twist to lock the bayonet. Ensure the mating devices are compatible with HFBR/POF interfaces (for example Avago/Broadcom transmitters and receivers). Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and crushing; the large 1 mm core POF tolerates tighter bends than glass fibre but should still be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Refit dust caps when the cable is disconnected to protect connector end faces.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this DELOCK POF cable for short audiovisual links, device-to-device connections and industrial signalling where plastic optical fibre is acceptable. Avoid using it as a replacement for glass fibre in high-bandwidth or long-distance applications. Store with dust caps fitted and avoid tight kinks; follow mating module manufacturer guidance for HFBR connector handling.
