Development of a fibers optic patch cable Fiber Optic technology use pulses of light to transmit data into optical fiber cables; therefore it is very important to have a component at the end of these fibers to precisely propagate the transmitted light to its destination. Most of these connectors are made with high quality ceramic components or composite plastics to satisfy a reliable connection between fiber optic networks.
Ferrule A thin cylindrical component that is usually made from ceramic or high quality plastic. It is used to hold the glass fiber. Generally, hold one strand of fiber in its center and the end of it, is also the end of the fiber.
