An adapter for receiving a connector plug terminating an optical fiber has a body member having at least one opening therein having sidewalls for receiving the plug. The opening has a longitudinally extending channel for receiving the latching arm of the connector plug, the side walls of the channel being angled inwardly to create a channel cross-section in the shape of a truncated wedge. In one of the sidewalls of the plug, preferably an outer side wall, is a cantilevered spring member biased inwardly toward the interim of the adapter for maintaining pressure upon the side of a connector plug when inserted therein. The exterior of the adapter body member has a flange thereon for bearing against a panel member or the like, and a metallic member straddles the body member and ahs cantilever leaf springs forming locking members for bearing against the opposite side of the panel from the flange.
