Ferrule is the most important component of fiber connectors and fiber patch cord. It can be made of different materials such as plastics, stainless steel, and ceramic (zirconia). Most ferrules used in optical connectors are made of ceramic (Zirconia) material due to their desirable properties including low insertion loss, remarkable strength, small elasticity coefficient, easy control of product characteristics, and strong resistance to environmental changes.
The outer diameter (OD) Ceramic (Zirconia) Ferrule size for ST, FC and SC Fiber Connectors is φ2.5mm, while for MU and LC Fiber Connector Versions it is φ1.25 mm. The OD Ceramic (Zirconia) Ferrules size is precise with a tolerance level of ±0.0005 mm. The inner diameter (ID) Ceramic Ferrules size has a precision of 0.001mm in concentricity and 0.0005mm in eccentricity for single mode ferrules used for optical communication components.
For multimode ferrules used in LAN and/or SAN Applications, the OD Ceramic Ferrules size is precise with a tolerance level of ±0.001 mm, while the inner diameter (ID) has a precision of 0.003mm in concentricity and 0.004mm in eccentricity.
