This paper describes the optical characteristics and static fatigue reliability of a zirconia alignment sleeve, which is a component part of an optical connector with zirconia ferrules. This combination of sleeve and ferrules hardly generates any wear debris during connector insertion and removal cycles. This has reduced the cleaning frequency of the ferrule endface during cycles and greatly improved the return loss stability of the optical connectors. The zirconia alignment sleeve enables stable return loss characterisics to be achieved over a wide temperature range as it has the same thermal expansion coefficient as the zirconia ferrule. Furthermore, the gauge retention force for the zirconia alignment sleeve is defined with a view to its practical use. This force must be between 2.0 and 3.9 N to allow stable optical connections to be made under various mechanical and environmental conditions. We also clarify the conditions for a proof test by which to prevent the occurrence of static fatigue fractures in the sleeve, and we confirm the validity of the test. The static fatigue parameters for zirconia ceramics are derived from the static fatigue theory for brittle materials and fracture testing. We use these static fatigue parameters to predect the lifetime of a zirconia sleeve under working stress. An appropriate stress level for the proof test which eliminates weak sleeves, is about 3 times greater than working stress. The strength of the sleeve as demonstrated in the proof test is confirmed by accelerative stress aging. The performance of this sleeve is superior to that of a conventional copper alloy sleeve and the proof test confirms its reliability; under 0.1 FIT for 20 years of use.
