The zirconia ceramic sleeves are used in optical adapters and receptacles. We provide all kinds of high precision zirconia ferrules for LC, SC, ST and SMA adapters. The zirconia sleeves are available as split sleeves and solid sleeves.
We also provide sleeves with special configurations such as tapered or chamfered lead in ends, and we supply custom sleeves for optical modules and devices. All zirconia sleeves are produced to meet your specific application requirements.
