Products classified under HTS 6914.90.41.00
Alumina Fiber Optic Ferrule
Precision-engineered alumina ceramic ferrule measuring 2.5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length, featuring a central fiber channel opening for aligning optical fibers in connectors. Fired from high-purity alumina at high temperatures, it falls under HTS 6914.90.41.00 as a specialized ceramic ferrule for fiber optic applications.
Zirconia LC Fiber Ferrule
Zirconia ceramic ferrule designed for LC fiber optic connectors, 1.25 mm diameter by 12 mm length with precision-polished fiber channel for low-loss signal transmission. Meets HTS 6914.90.41.00 criteria as a fired zirconia ferrule with fiber channel opening used in high-density networking.
Zirconia Mating Sleeve
Alumina-zirconia composite ceramic mating sleeve, 2 mm inner diameter x 20 mm length, designed to align and secure two fiber optic ferrules in patch panel applications. Qualifies for HTS 6914.90.41.00 as explicitly listed 'ceramic mating sleeves of alumina or zirconia' fired after shaping.
Precision Alumina MT Ferrule
Multi-fiber alumina MT ferrule array, individual fibers 2 mm spacing within 3 mm envelope diameter, total length 22 mm for MPO/MTP connectors in data centers. HTS 6914.90.41.00 applies to this fired ceramic ferrule with multiple fiber channel openings meeting size criteria.
Alumina Singlemode Ferrule
Alumina ceramic ferrule optimized for G.652 singlemode fiber, 2.499 mm outer diameter x 9.5 mm length with 125 µm fiber channel for 1310/1550nm telecommunications. HTS 6914.90.41.00 classification reflects its fired alumina material and precise fiber optic specifications.
Alumina SC Connector Ferrule
High-precision alumina ceramic ferrule for SC fiber optic connectors, 2.5 mm diameter x 18 mm length with fiber channel for single-mode applications in telecommunications networks. Classified under HTS 6914.90.41.00 due to its fired alumina construction and exact size specifications.
Zirconia APC Polish Ferrule
Angled physical contact (APC) polished zirconia ferrule, 2.5 mm diameter x 15 mm length with 8-degree fiber channel endface for minimized reflectance in FTTH networks. Specifically covered by HTS 6914.90.41.00 for its precision-fired zirconia construction and telecommunications application.
