It carries an Advanced PC Polished ferrule interface and a purple strain-relief boot, with a UL94 V-0 rated housing. The plug accepts HSC Ferrules for termination and supports fiber with a 9.5µm/50µm core and 125µm cladding — covering both singlemode and multimode fiber types in a single connector body. ## Lifecycle Status — Last Buy, Plan Your Replacement The HRFC-P8-L3(61) is officially in a Last Buy lifecycle phase. This means the manufacturer has announced end-of-production, and remaining inventory is being sold through a final purchasing window. For any BOM line using this order code, the immediate action is to secure last-time-buy quantities for ongoing production and to identify a qualified replacement — either a direct successor from the HRFC series or a functionally equivalent simplex plug from another series. ## Fit and Termination — Cable Diameter and Ferrule Match This plug is built for 3.0mm cable diameter — the strain-relief boot and internal bore are sized for that jacket OD. Termination uses HSC Ferrules, which are ordered separately. The Advanced PC Polish on the ferrule end-face is specified for low insertion loss and good return loss performance in singlemode and multimode links. ## Sourcing — Quoted to Order Against RFQ Buyers should include the target quantity and any date constraints in the RFQ to secure allocation within the last-buy window.","metaTitle":"Hirose HRFC-P8-L3(61) Simplex Plug, 3.0mm Cable, Last Buy","metaDescription":"Hirose HRFC-P8-L3(61) simplex plug for 3.0mm cable, Advanced PC Polished, UL94 V-0.
