Ferrule.

Also written Connector ferrule, Zirconia ferrule, Ceramic ferrule.

What is a ferrule in a fibre connector?

The ferrule is the ceramic tip of a fibre connector, drilled down its centre to hold the bare glass exactly on axis. Its diameter defines the connector family: an LC connector carries a 1.25 millimetre ferrule, an SC connector a 2.5 millimetre one. Care for the ferrule face; nearly every failing link is a dirty ferrule.

Defined by IEC 61754, which defines the fibre connector interfaces and their ferrule sizes, published by IEC.
