Description
HP connectored cable assemblies
are available in various industry
standard sizes and styles. The
designer may choose among 50/
125
µm,
62.5/125
µm
and 100/
140
µm
cable and ST and SMA
connectors (50/125
µm
is
available with only ST connectors
in one- and ten-metre lengths).
These cable assemblies have been
specified for use with HP’s 820
nm and 1300 nm fiber-optic
transmitters and receivers and are
ideal for various data communi-
cation applications.

Notes:
1. HP is in the process of obsoleting the
following part numbers and does not
recommend their use for new
designs: HFBR-AHDxxx and HFBR-
AHSxxx cable assemblies, the
HFBR-4000 connector, the HFBR-
3099 mating adapter, and HFBR-
0100/0101/0102 connectoring kits.
Please contact your local HP
components representative for more
information.
2. Short term is
≤
6 hours.
3. Calculations are based on worst case
parameters of HP 820 nm and 1300
nm optical components.
4. Recommended connectoring kit:
OFTI 400 Series Field Installation
Kit.
5. Fixed losses (length independent)
apply only to the use of mating
adapters in link design calculations.
Fixed losses at transmitter/receiver
interfaces are included in HP
transmitter/receiver optical
specifications.
6. Dimensions in millimetres (inches).
