The fiber is inserted into the ferrule and cemented with an epoxy or adhesive, which gives it long-term mechanical strength and prevents contamination from the weather. Connectors may also use crimped ferrules that do not require cement. The ferrule is the most important and costly part of a fiber connector. If its length, hole centering and inside and outside diameters are not exact, a poor connection will result. See fiber optics glossary.
