ABSTRACT:
An adapter assembly is provided for holding two individual fiber optic connectors in generally parallel side-by-side alignment. The assembly includes a one piece body having a pair of through passages adapted for holding the fiber optic connectors in a substantially side-by-side relationship when the connectors are inserted axially into the passages. The body substantially entirely surrounds the connectors. Complementary interengaging latches are provided between the body and each fiber optic connector for latching the connectors in the passages automatically in response to the insertion the connectors thereinto. The latches are configured to afford lost motion between the body and each fiber optic connector to provide floating motion between the connectors and the body.
