Precision Pigtailed Glass Ferrules for Optical Fiber Alignment and Micro-Optical Assemblies
BYNET glass ferrule fiber pigtails combine optical fibers with precision glass ferrules for fiber positioning, termination, and integration into micro-optical components.
Available reference configurations include multiple ferrule diameters, customizable fiber lengths, and an 8° reference end-face angle. These assemblies can be tailored to meet specific mechanical, optical, and packaging requirements.
Product Overview
A glass ferrule fiber pigtail is an optical fiber assembly in which the fiber is positioned and secured within a precision glass ferrule.
The glass ferrule provides a mechanical reference for fiber positioning and supports integration into optical assemblies. Ferrule dimensions, bore size, fiber characteristics, and end-face geometry are important factors in achieving the intended assembly fit.
Depending on the optical design, angled end-face configurations may be used to manage back-reflections at the fiber interface.
BYNET offers reference ferrule dimensions and can review customized pigtail configurations based on customer drawings and technical requirements.
Key Features
Precision Glass Ferrule Structure
The glass ferrule provides a defined mechanical interface for holding and positioning optical fibers in compatible optical assemblies.
Multiple Ferrule Dimensions
Reference outer diameter options include 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0 mm to accommodate different mechanical integration requirements.
End-Face Configuration
An 8° reference angle is listed in the existing product specifications. Final polishing geometry and end-face quality requirements should be defined according to the intended optical application.
Custom Fiber Options
Fiber type, fiber length, coating configuration, and related termination requirements can be reviewed based on customer specifications.
OEM and Custom Assembly Support
Ferrule dimensions and fiber termination requirements can be evaluated for custom optical component packaging and precision assembly applications.

Ferrule and Fiber Selection Guide
Ferrule Outer Diameter
The ferrule OD should match the mounting structure and available assembly space. Dimensional tolerances should be considered when determining the mechanical fit.
Ferrule Bore Diameter
The bore must be compatible with the actual fiber cladding diameter and its tolerance. Insertion clearance and the bonding process should also be considered.
End-Face Angle and Finish
The end-face configuration should be selected according to the optical interface and back-reflection requirements.
The existing reference specification includes an 8° angle. Its geometric definition and polishing requirements should be confirmed before production.
Fiber Type and Length
Fiber selection depends on operating wavelength, transmission requirements, cladding dimensions, coating specifications, and intended application.
Optical Performance
If insertion loss, return loss, or other optical performance limits are required, the measurement conditions and acceptance criteria should be established for the specific assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glass ferrule fiber pigtail?
A glass ferrule fiber pigtail is an optical fiber assembly in which a glass ferrule supports and positions the fiber at its termination end.
What is the difference between a glass ferrule pigtail and a standard fiber pigtail?
A glass ferrule pigtail includes a precision glass ferrule as part of its termination structure. Standard fiber pigtails may use different termination configurations, including conventional connectors.
Are different ferrule diameters available?
Existing BYNET specifications list nominal outer diameters of 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0 mm. Availability and tolerances should be confirmed before ordering.
What is the purpose of an angled end face?
An angled end face can help direct reflected light away from the guided optical mode at the interface. Actual back-reflection performance depends on the optical design and assembly conditions.
Can the fiber type and length be customized?
BYNET can review custom fiber types, lengths, coatings, and termination requirements according to customer specifications.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the ferrule dimensions, fiber specifications, end-face requirements, operating wavelength, technical drawing, and estimated quantity.
