How Ferrule Rotation Affects Apex Offset Measurements | Part 1
The linear apex offset is directly related to the distance between the center of the fiber and the center of the fringes. If the two centers overlap, there is minimal linear apex offset.

MEASUREMENT OF END FACE GEOMETRY ON FIBER OPTIC
Since the fiber itself could be recessed or protruded, the sphericity of the ferrule surface (as defined by the Fitting Area) is used to calculate the vertex. The apex offset is defined as the distance from the

The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
Lateral offset of the cores of the fiber can be caused by fibers with offset cores or the connector. Within the connector, the hole in the ferrule is bigger than the fiber so it can be easily inserted, even with
