ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector assembly wherein two individual fiber optic connectors are retained in a side-by-side arrangement which enables relative freedom of movement therebetween so as to facilitate positioning of the retained two (also called a duplex) within a common housing. Such movement accommodates for manufacturing tolerances within the housing and/or connectors, while still assuring successful insertion within the common housing. An adapter, having two clamping portions (one for each connector) interconnected by a resilient portion, assures this movement.
