ABSTRACT:
A bare fiber adapter for holding an end portion of an optical fiber in a predetermined position. A pair of gripper members are pivotally attached to a support member for relative movement to engage and disengage the fiber between opposed gripping surfaces. An axial ferrule fiber optic connector is attached to the support member which is adapted to accept any of a plurality of industry-standard styles of such connectors. A locking member in the nature of a hollow sleeve is movable with respect to the support and gripping members to releasably lock the latter in the fiber-engaging position.
