ABSTRACT:
An adapter assembly is provided for holding two individual fiber optic connectors in generally parallel side-by-side alignment. The assembly includes a body having a pair of through passages adapted for holding the fiber optic connectors in an substantially side-by-side relationship when the connectors are inserted in an axial direction into the passages. The passages are transversely enlarged relative to the respective connectors to provide floating motion between the connectors and the body. A holding clip is insertable into a transverse opening in the body into engagement with each connector. The holding clip retains its respective connector in its respective passage in the body. The holding clip is configured to allow the floating motion between the connectors and the body.
