Ceramic ferrules and sleeves are often used in optical connectors, attenuators, fiber stubs, and other optoelectronics requiring low signal loss. Kyocera's extrusion molding process creates ferrules with excellent coaxiality, and our precision machining ensures excellent concentricity with precise. Ceramic ferrules are the most critical precision components in modern fiber optic networks. You cannot see them, but these tiny, engineered channels are the single most important part for aligning two optical fibers. A single micron of misalignment can bring a network to its knees. They are made of zirconia ceramic, which offers the highest performance and durability of all ferrule material types. Click here to download a free copy.
