ABSTRACT:
Disclosed optical fiber connector adaptor includes a guide cylinder to accommodate two ferrules each attached to an end of a different optical fiber, which are to be connected to each other with their optical axes aligned by inserting the ferrules in the guide cylinder from its opposite sides. The adaptor has outer and inner hollow bodies which are adapted to telescope within each other during assembly. Each hollow body has a cylindrical holder to surround and hold the guide cylinder allowing an optical fiber connector having a ferrule at its end to be press-fit in the outer hollow body until the ferrule is inserted in the guide cylinder. The inner hollow tube permits the press-fit of a ferrule, which is attached to the end of another optical fiber, into the guide cylinder on the open side of the inner hollow body.
