Ceramic Ferrule Fiber Optic

Most of the ferrules used in optical connectors are made of ceramic zirconia material due to some of the desirable properties they possess.
Ceramic ferrule fiber optic. Thorlabs offers ø1 25 mm and ø2 5 mm stainless steel or ceramic zirconia fiber optic ferrules for constructing pigtailed fiber optic patch cables and assemblies. Ceramic ferrules are manufactured with a selection of hole or inner bore diameters ranging from slightly larger than the optical fiber diameter to slightly smaller. They are made of zirconia ceramic which offers the highest performance and durability of all ferrule material types. Nano zirconia powder injection molding material formula and forming process technology.
It could be made of different materials such as plastics stainless steel and ceramic zirconia. Ferrule is the most important component of fiber connectors and fiber patch cord. Our standard ferrules are typically used as sub components within fiber optic connectors but can also be integrated in various specialized applications. Optical fiber ceramic ferrules are manufactured using the following advanced process technologies.
It could be made of different materials such as plastics stainless steel and ceramic zirconia. ø1 25 mm lc sized ferrules are compatible with many lc pc fiber components as well as our adal1 mating s. Ferrules are used for applications including optical connectors attenuators and fiber stubs. Our fiber optic ferrules can be used in fc sc lc apc mu and customer specified connector types.
The zirconia ferrules and sleeves are our main products of fiber optic components suitable for high end performance and quality for various fibers connectors and device terminations. Our fiber optic ferrules are available in single mode multimode types we also offer step and cone tipped fiber optic ferrules. The premise basis for the production of precision ceramic ferrules is the supporting use of precision ceramic ferrules and ceramic ferrules pin pins. Ferrule is the most important component of fiber connectors and fiber patch cord.
Most of the ferrules used in optical connectors are made of ceramic zirconia material due to some of the desirable properties they possess. This variance in hole size would allow for minute variations in the manufactured optical fiber cladding diameters. Sino optic provides two type of fiber optic ceramic ferrule 2 5mm and 1 25mm outer diameters. Kyocera s extrusion and machining processes ensure ceramic ferrules with high concentricity at both ends and high precision inner and outer diameters.
