Home / What are the ferrules for passive optical devices
These ferrules are available in both ceramic and stainless steel and are designed to meet the space requirements of specialty applications. A ferrule's job is to hold the fiber core in perfect concentric alignment while maintaining extremely tight tolerances according to IEC 61755, IEC 61300. Zirconia ceramic ferrules are the top pick because they last long and do not change with heat in fiber optic networks. Pick the right ferrule type (PC, UPC, APC) for your network to help it work better.
