Abstract
An adapter assembly is provided for holding two individual fiber optic connectors in generally parallel side-by-side alignment. The assembly includes a body having a pair of holding portions adapted for holding the fiber optic connectors in a substantially side-by-side relationship. A separate spring is mounted on the body and is adapted for cooperating with the body to bias the fiber optic connectors to a substantially parallel relationship.
