It accepts a 3.0mm cable jacket and terminates fiber with a 9.5µm/50µm core and 125µm cladding — covering both singlemode and multimode fiber types. The connector features Advanced PC Polished ferrule finish for low back-reflection in singlemode links, plus an integral strain relief and a blue boot for cable identification. ## Last Buy — Sourcing for the BOM Line The HRFC-P8-H3(62) carries a Last Buy lifecycle status. That means Hirose has discontinued production, and the remaining available inventory is the final supply. There is no official replacement or equivalent order code on record from Hirose; a parametric search for a simplex HRFC plug with the same cable diameter and polish grade is the practical next step if stock is exhausted. ## Cable Diameter and Termination Fit The 3.0mm cable diameter acceptance is the critical fit parameter — this plug is built for a specific jacket OD, not a range. The Advanced PC Polished ferrule and strain relief are integrated into the assembly, so field termination requires the matching HSC Ferrules (listed as related products). The simplex configuration means one fiber per plug, typical for patch cords or pigtail assemblies where individual fiber routing is needed.","metaTitle":"Hirose HRFC-P8-H3(62) Simplex Fiber Plug, 3.0mm Cable","metaDescription":"Hirose HRFC-P8-H3(62) simplex fiber optic plug, Advanced PC polished, 3.0mm cable diameter, UL94 V-0.
