OPTICAL ADAPTOR FOR MOUNTING TO A RECEPTACLE TO OPTICALLY COUPLE CONNECTORIZED OPTICAL CABLES

摘要

An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises a coupling element (110) to provide a passageway (111) for inserting a respective ferrule (11) of a first and a second optical connector (10, 20) terminating a first and a second optical cable (1, 2). The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element (120) to mount the first optical connector (10) to the receptacle, the mounting element (120) being configured to be insertable in the receptacle, and a fixing element (130) to fix the mounting element (120) to the receptacle. The mounting element (120) is formed as a hollow body to receive the coupling element (110) and configured to fix the coupling element (110) to the receptacle.
