Abstract

An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises a coupling element to provide a passageway for inserting a ferrule of a first optical connector to terminate a first one of the connectorized optical cables and a ferrule of a second optical connector to terminate a second one of the connectorized optical cables to optically couple the first and the second connectorized optical cable. The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element being mountable to the receptacle to hold the optical adaptor. The mounting element is configured to receive the coupling element.
