LC-Type Ceramic Ferrule
LC standard ceramic ferrules are made of high-performance zirconium oxide ceramics, designed for high-density fiber connections, and are widely used in data centers, telecommunications equipment, and high-speed optical communication systems. With an outer diameter of 1.25 mm, they are smaller than SC ferrules and more suitable for high-density wiring and space-constrained applications. LC ferrules have high-precision concentricity, low optical loss, and high durability to ensure stable signal transmission. We provide standard and non-standard custom ferrules to meet the needs of different fiber optic systems.
- 1.25 mm OD for LC connector systems
- Tight tolerances for precise fiber alignment
- Low insertion and return loss
- High strength and thermal stability
- Widely used in data centers and FTTH
LC-Type Ceramic Ferrule
LC-type ceramic ferrules are compact ceramic inserts designed for small-form-factor fiber optic connectors. Engineered for tight spacing and high-density installations, these ferrules ensure precise fiber alignment while delivering low insertion and return loss. Made from high-purity zirconia ceramic, they offer excellent durability and polishability, essential for reliable performance in telecommunications and data center environments. UPCERA manufactures LC ferrules with strict dimensional control to guarantee consistent quality and performance in both single-mode and multi-mode fiber networks.
