Good Fiber-Optic Connections Start With the Ferrule
Ceramic ferrules are manufactured with a selection of hole or inner (bore) diameters ranging from slightly larger than the optical fiber diameter to

Home / How to connect a fiber optic ceramic ferrule
This procedure describes the installation of the Corning heat-cure LC fiber optic connector with preradiused ceramic ferrule or preground angled ceramic ferrule. The best place to start is at the ferrule—one of the first components needed for superior connections and high-performing connectivity. Fiber connectors are terminated onto optical cable to provide a separable interface that allows for moves, adds and changes (MACs). This allows for such media to be deployed into enclosures and panels to form structured cabling solutions, or in patch cords to facilitate transceiver connections. 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.
