Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when sold in complete apparatus assemblies for retail packaging
Connectors in finished electrical equipment kits fall under apparatus parts, not standalone connectors.
If for precision optical alignment components used in fiber optic splicing equipment
Certain specialized optical fiber alignment devices classify under optical instruments.
If ferrule is primarily steel rather than ceramic with optical specifications
Metal ferrules without optical tolerances become other steel articles.
