AFBR-4526Z
Plastic optical fiber duplex connector for AFBR-5972Z
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AFBR-4526Z duplex connectors are designed for use
with Avago Technologies’ fast Ethernet transceiver AFBR5972Z. The rugged design contains a latching mechanism
for an increased retention force. The simple snap-together
concept saves the user labor and tool cost.
Suitable for 1mm diameter duplex plastic optical fiber
(POF)
The connectors are made of a rugged, flame retardant
plastic which is good for industrial and other harsh environments. The AFBR-4526Z duplex connectors are for use
with Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) only.
Applications
For termination of POF with AFBR-4526Z, 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 are at 25°C.
3. Usually, the button of the latching mechanism shall be pressed when disconnecting the fiber. If the connector is pulled out of the transceiver while
the lever is not pressed, the latching mechanism will degrade significantly after the first cycle.
