Explanation:
Als Lichtleiter werden transparente Bauteile wie Fasern, Röhren oder Stäbe bezeichnet, die Licht über kurze oder lange Strecken transportieren.
:
Hauptvertreter ist der vorwiegend in der Nachrichtentechnik verwendete Lichtwellenleiter, der seinen Namen aufgrund der dort wesentlichen Rolle der Welleneigenschaften des Lichtes verdankt.[1] Da die Lichtwellenleiter häufig aus Glasfasern bestehen, werden diese auch als Glasfaserkabel oder Lichtleitkabel bezeichnet.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtleiter

An optical waveguide is a physical structure that guides electromagnetic waves in the optical spectrum. Common types of optical waveguides include optical fiber and rectangular waveguides.
Optical waveguides are used as components in integrated optical circuits or as the transmission medium in local and long haul optical communication systems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_(optics)

Lichtwellenleiter (LWL), oder Lichtleitkabel (LLK) sind aus Lichtleitern bestehende und teilweise mit Steckverbindern konfektionierte Kabel und Leitungen zur Übertragung von Licht. Das Licht wird dabei in Fasern aus Quarzglas oder Kunststoff (polymere optische Faser) geführt. Sie werden häufig auch als Glasfaserkabel bezeichnet, wobei in diesen typischerweise mehrere Lichtwellenleiter gebündelt werden, die zudem zum Schutz und zur Stabilisierung der einzelnen Fasern noch mechanisch verstärkt sind.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtwellenleiter

An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.[1] Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than electrical cables.

Die Suche nach " HFBR" führt immer nur zu den Firmen Broadcom und Avago oder deren Distributoren.

The HFBR-1312TZ Transmitter and HFBR-2316TZ Receiver are designed to provide the most cost-effective 1300 nm fiber optic links for a wide variety of data communication applications from low-speed distance extends up to SONET OC-3 signal rates. Pinouts identical to Avago HFBR-0400Z series allow designers to easily upgrade their 820 nm links for farther distance.

Wie zu sehen, bietet Broadcom auch ähnliche Geräte unter ähnlichen Typenbezeichnungen an. Daher darf man sich sicher sein, dass es sich auch darum handelt. Eine Erklärung der Typennummern war leider nicht zu finden.

neutral  Ulrike Kraemer: I don't see the connection between a nuclear reactor and optical fibers: https://www.spektrum.de/lexikon/physik/high-flux-beam-reacto...
2 hrs
  -> The idea was to get the asker searching in the acronym link.

neutral  D. I. Verrelli: The "High Flux Beam Reactor" refers to a specific installation that was decommissioned in 1999, so this may help decide whether it could apply to the source text. However, it is possible to talk of "neutron optics", for example.

neutral  D. I. Verrelli: "Equipment" seems a bit broader than "Lichtleiter". E.g. might a laser be "fibre optic equipment"? Or some sort of light meter? "Component" might be a bit narrower in meaning.

Reference: HFBR - possible explanation for the name

Reference information:
The H could stand for HP/Hewlett-Packard and the FBR for fiber/fibre. The A in the subsequent series AFBR could stand for Avago or Agilent.
(Take a look at the history of Broadcom)

POF (=Plastic Optical Fiber) und HCS (=High-Cladded-Silica-Fiber)
...
Neben den Standardtypen aus dem Glasfaserbereich stehen auch folgende Spezialtypen zur Auswahl: div. HFBR-Typen (teilweise auch als Agilent-/HP-/Avago-Stecker bekannt), V-Pin/-Link, Toslink (Toshiba TOCP-Typen), MOST-Typen für Automotive, und diverse Sondertypen.
https://www.wikotec.de/lwl-patch-verlegekabel.html

HFBR-Stecker
HFBR-Stecker sind LwL-Stecker für Plastik-, Polymerfasern und HCS-Fasern, Hard Clad Silica (HCS), somit für Lichtwellenleiter, deren Kern- oder Mantelmaterial aus Kunststoff besteht oder die eine spezielle Kunststoffbeschichtung haben.

The latest data link comes from the Optoelectronics Div. of Hewlett-Packard Components (Palo Alto, CA). With this Series HFBR link— the company's first fiber optic entry— HP joins other new suppliers of data links, such as: 3M
