Summary :

Plastic ferrules for single-mode (SM) MU-type simplified receptacles are fabricated with a precise injection-molding technique using a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). The fabricated plastic ferrules exhibit an eccentricity of < 0.6 µm and outer diameter variation of 1 µm. MU-type simplified plugs incorporating the plastic ferrules have an average insertion loss of 0.13 dB and a return loss of > 46 dB. The plastic ferrules exhibit good resistance in 500-cycle mating tests, and in vibration and impact tests as well. The initial optical characteristics are maintained during a temperature and humidity cycling test and a heat-cycling test.
