ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic adaptor is provided which facilitates the connection of either an ST terminated fiber or an FC terminated fiber to another FC terminated fiber, or to some other optical device. The adaptor has a pair of pins mounted on supports connected to an FC coupling receptacle. The pins have extended and retracted positions. When extended, the pins engage the J-shaped slots of the ST terminated fiber, and when retracted, they are out of the way allowing the FC terminated fiber to be connected to the receptacle. In another embodiment, an adaptor is provided which facilitates the connection of either an ST terminated fiber or an SC terminated fiber to another SC terminated fiber.
