FERRULE ASSEMBLY FOR OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ferrule assembly for optical fibers whose manufacturing is easier and cheaper while maintaining the accuracy required to holding optical fibers. SOLUTION: The invention relates to a ferrule assembly (10;13) for optical fibers (50) comprising a high-density ferrule plate (11;14) with a two-dimensional array of through-holes (20) for the optical fibers (50). The holes of the ferrule plate (11;14) comprises substantially straight edges (21) adapted to substantially contain the optical fibers (50). The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a high-density ferrule plate (11;14), a mold for die casting such a high-density ferrule plate (11;14) and a method manufacturing such a mold.
