Broadcom Simplex Single Mode Fibre Optic Cable, 1.06mm, Black, 1m

This family of fibre optic cable assemblies, from Avago Technologies, consist of a POF cable with connectors attached. They are available in a variety of lengths with both simplex and duplex connector options. The HFBR-RXXYYYZ 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 zipcord web.

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.

This HFBR-RLS001Z fibre optic cable from Broadcom has a length of 1m and its propagation mode is single. The communication channels are Simplex, the core diameter is 1.06mm and the connectors are Simplex Latching.
