Hirose HRFC-R1(40) — Obsolete FC Receptacle for Fiber Patch Panels
The Hirose HRFC-R1(40) is a simplex FC receptacle from the HRFC series, designed for fiber optic termination in panel-mount applications. It carries a square flange for secure bulkhead mounting and uses threaded coupling to lock the mating FC plug — the standard for single-mode and multimode patch panels where vibration or cable strain is a concern.
Obsolete — Sourced to Order, No Official Successor on Record
The HRFC-R1(40) is listed as Obsolete. No official replacement order code is recorded in the lifecycle entry.
Mechanical Fit: Panel Mount, Square Flange, Threaded Coupling
This receptacle mounts through a square cutout in a panel or bulkhead and is secured by the flange. The threaded barrel accepts a standard FC plug — the coupling nut tightens by hand or with a 5/16-inch wrench. The dust cap (included per the features listing) protects the ferrule alignment sleeve when unmated. 1000 mating cycles are rated, which is typical for FC interfaces used in test equipment or patch panels that see regular reconnections.
