Application Notes
More Information
Specifying a Fibre Optic Ferrule
To assist with any requirements for a custom made ferrule the key parameters required to specify a Fibre Optic Ferrule are:
- Number or bores
- Inner Diameter and tolerance. Typical tolerances are -1um/+3um
- Outer Diameter and tolerance. Typical tolerances are +/-0.1mm)
- Length and tolerance. Typical tolerances are +/-0.2mm
- Material. Borosilicate or Clear Fused Quartz
- Lead-in, on one or both ends
Due to the glass drawing process involved in manufacturing the base tubing required for custom ferrules the minimum order quantities are generally 300-500 pieces and the likely order value is over GBP1,000.
Please contact with details or any questions you have regarding custom made Fibre Optic Ferrules.
