ABSTRACT:
A compact adaptor for holding two individual fiber optic connectors in flexible side-by-side positions for future alignment within a common connector housing. The adaptor comprises two clamp members for engaging the connectors on opposite sides thereof. The clamp members each comprise two shallow U-shaped sections, with each section having a base portion and leg portions integral therewith. A bridge member extends outwardly from the bases and is outwardly bowed such that it can be manipulated by the user of the connectors and adaptor. Such manipulation of the bridge member permits relative movement of the U-shaped sections and thus relative movement of the side-by-side fiber optic connectors in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axes.
