- Nóta The ferrule is bored through the center at a diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the fiber cladding. The end of the fiber is located at the end of the ferrule. Ferrules are typically made of metal or ceramic, but they may also be constructed of plastic.Note ref.: Ayyash, I. (2004). Integrated Optics Devices and Application.
