What is a ceramic ferrule?

Ferrule plays a significant role in Fiber Connectors as well as Fiber Patchcord. With the characteristics of low insertion loss required for optical transmission, a low value in elasticity coefficient, excellent strength and high resistance to changeable environments, the ceramic ferrule is usually used in optical connectors.

Having the high durability and the highest levels of dimensional control, these kinds of optical ferrules are available to all fiber applications designated in TIA/EIA-568-B.1 cabling architecture standards. Ceramic ferrule, which is essentially zirconia materials, owns brilliant control over the size. This kind of optical fiber ferrules enables efficient polishing with greater repeatable geometry and a finer surface finish. Proper fiber alignment in zirconia ceramic ferrules is assured through state-of-the-art precision molding/machining of the ferrule ceramic to ensure full contact of fiber ends.

Standard Optical Fiber Ceramic Ferrule FAQs

What is the core free grade B ferrule?

The connector made of this kind of fiber ferrule can directly meet the requirements of grade B connector random matching without tunning. The grade B connector made of this kind of fiber optic ferrules has great advantages in cost and performance.

How to detect the concentricity of optical ferrule?

Generally, there are two types, one is contact type (probe detection), the other is non-contact (optical detection). In the early stage, it is mainly probe detection. At present, the mainstream plug-in manufacturers use optical detection. Compared with the probe detection, the optical detection accuracy is higher, the IL correspondence between the selected plug and connector is better, and the secondary pollution can be effectively avoided.
