At present, ceramic ferrule front surfaces can be ground into one of three structures: PC (physical contact), APC (beveled physical contact) or UPC (universal physical contact). Each structure possesses distinct performance characteristics. Kyocera's extrusion molding process creates ferrules with excellent coaxiality, and our precision machining ensures excellent concentricity with precise. Fiber connectors are terminated onto optical cable to provide a separable interface that allows for moves, adds and changes (MACs). In particular, in environments where Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and high-density optical connections are required, it stands out from other ferrules with. Ceramic ferrule is a core component used in fiber optic connectors, usually made of high-purity zirconia ceramic material. Their cylindrical bore opening and tight tolerance fit of optical fiber helps minimize movement which contributes to insertion loss.
