ABSTRACT:
An adapter for coupling a fiber optic connector has a terminus and a throat area provided with a fluted region. Mating connectors are aligned with the terminus by the fluted region. The adapter is injection molded as a single piece using polymeric materials and accommodates fiber optic connectors having tips in the form of right circular cylinders. The insertion force required between two connector tips during alignment is substantially reduced, minimizing damage to the fiber end-faces.
