Application fit

Is POF Duplex 980/1000 µm right for your machine?

Ideal for short-haul (< 70 m) industrial optical links where tool-free hot-plate or razor-blade cutting, visible 650 nm red fault checking, and tight cabinet bends are priorities.

Switchgear & control cabinet wiring

Suitable

Zipcord 2.2 × 4.4 mm and round duplex versions route tightly inside PLC, drive and CNC cabinets.

Energy chain / drag chain

Suitable

Heavy-duty PUR round jacket version supports 5 million drag-chain flexing cycles on machine tools.

VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder

Suitable

Provides high-voltage galvanic isolation for inverter IGBT gate-driver boards (HFBR links).

Fixed installation

With conditions

Limited to 50–70 m @ 650 nm due to PMMA attenuation; for 70–500 m runs specify HITRONIC PCF DUPLEX.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why choose 980/1000 µm POF for short links up to 50–70 m?
The large 1.0 mm PMMA plastic core has a 0.50 numerical aperture (960 × larger core area than 50 µm glass), allowing low-cost 650 nm visible red LEDs and fast field termination with a simple guillotine blade—without microscope inspection or fusion splicing.
How do technicians troubleshoot a HITRONIC POF DUPLEX link in the field?
Because POF systems transmit visible 650 nm red light, a technician can simply unplug the receiving connector to visually verify optical signal arrival, or shine a pocket LED flashlight into one end to check continuity.
When should we switch from HITRONIC POF DUPLEX to HITRONIC PCF DUPLEX?
Whenever the link distance exceeds 50–70 m, or ambient temperatures around the fibre exceed +70/+85 °C continuously, upgrade to HITRONIC PCF DUPLEX (200/230 µm silica core, up to 400–500 m).
Are pre-terminated HFBR and SC-RJ patch cords available?
Yes. We supply custom-length patch cords pre-assembled with Broadcom/Avago HFBR-4501/4511, HFBR-4506/4516 duplex, SC-RJ, or FSMA connectors.
