ABSTRACT:
A method for the preparation of optical ferrules containing cylindrical members utilizes a guide receiving the cylindrical member, a sleeve receiving a piston therethrough, and a pin extending into the sleeve. The method also includes biasing to position the piston, using fill gates to dispense polymer into a defined cavity, and employing a containment which secures the components together. Injection molded optical fiber ferrules made according to the apparatus and process exhibit superior properties.
