ABSTRACT:
Endoscopes employ an optical fiber cable connected to a light source to illuminate the viewing field. The adapter of the present invention facilitates connection of the optical fiber cable to the light source by accommodating a wide variety of differing cable connector sizes and types. The adapter has a channel-like frame mounted on the light source in front of the light. A cable holder with a downwardly opening notch is mounted on one flange of the frame. A spring biased cable support with an upwardly opening notch is mounted adjacent the cable holder so that the notches form an opening in which the connector may be engaged and retained in the adapter.
