ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an adapter for optica fiber connectors for connecting a first optical fiber connector, which has a first optical fiber end which is mounted in a sleeve, the end face of the optical fiber end and the sleeve extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first optical fiber, to a second optical fiber connector, which has a second optical fiber end, which is mounted in a sleeve, the end face of the optical fiber end and the sleeve extending obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the second optical fiber. The adapter has an optical fiber section which is mounted in a sleeve, and it is the case that the first end face extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber section, and the second end face extends obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber section. An optical fiber connector can be inserted from either end of the adapter. Direct coupling takes place between the optical fibers.
