The BF4-IFC active optical connector and cable assembly system enables high-speed data transmission at cable lengths of more than 50 m. The user-friendly optical cable system features an innovative internal wiring system that offers the benefits of fiber-optic signaling including high signal quality, low power consumption (less than 250 mW), and EMI noise prevention. Reducing system size and cost, the hybrid BF4-IFC active optical cable assembly streamlines wiring by integrating four electrical wires for power delivery and signal transmission control into one cable interface.
The BF4-IFC active optical cable plugs into a reliable panel-mount receptacle that solders to the PCB.
Combining strength with flexing properties, the BF4-IFC cable is suitable for any application that requires long reach, high speed, and limited wiring space, including broadcasting equipment, data centers, medical equipment, FA cameras, and security cameras.
“The BF4-IFC connector and cable assembly simplifies design and installation by providing both high-speed optical data transmission and power delivery through a single hybrid optical fiber and electrical cable system. The advanced design ensures high speed, low power, and low noise operation,” said Bill Kysiak, product marketing manager for Hirose Electric USA.
