Optical and mechanical competencies

Even though monoblock ferrules are widely used, Diamond connectors exclusively use a composite ferrule, consisting of a ceramic ferrule with a titanium insert. This ferrule together with Diamond’s patented Active Core Alignment (ACA) process, which tightly aligns the fiber core to the axis of the ferrule, reduces insertion loss values to a minimum. By controlling the tolerances of fiber core eccentricity and angular misalignment, Diamond is able to determine an optical performance class with guaranteed attenuation values within the 0.1db class and this applies also to any randomly combined connectors of this quality class.
